About this map

The Wood River winds through this South County landscape, defining a region where early Rhode Island industrial hamlets and expansive conservation lands meet. Small settlements like Wyoming, Locustville, and Barberville are clustered along the southern watercourses, while the central and northern portions are dominated by the Arcadia Man Area. This transition from active village life to protected woodland is marked by numerous family burial sites, including the Tefft Family Cem and the Lillibridge Burial Ground, which offer clear evidence of the area's long-standing agricultural and residential roots.

Elevated landmarks like Nooseneck Hill and Pine Hill provide topographical context to the region, with the Pine Hill Lookout Tower standing as a sentinel over the eastern ridge. In the north, Nooseneck and Lewis City represent older settlement patterns now bypassed by the modern highway corridor, while Boon Lake and Wyoming Pond reflect the importance of water management for both industry and local recreation.
