1954 Map of Georgiaville

About this map

Industrial villages and reservoirs dominate the drainage basins of the Branch River and Woonasquatucket River in northern Rhode Island. Centered on the town of Smithfield, the landscape reflects a heritage of water-powered industry, with numerous small settlements clustered around mill sites such as Slatersville, Esmond, and Forestdale. The 1970s revisions, noted in purple, illustrate the suburban intensification near the Woonsocket City Boundary, contrasting with the more wooded and hilly terrain of Burrillville and Glocester. Distinctive local landmarks including The Shrine near Mohegan and the Union Chapel near Forge Hill provide specific points of interest for genealogists tracing family locations. The extensive network of water bodies, from the Stillwater Reservoir to the Waterman Reservoir, highlights the region's managed hydrology and historical dependence on these basins for community growth and manufacturing power.
