1953 Map of Hope Valley

About this map

Hope Valley and Wyoming serve as the southern anchors of this mid-century survey, where the Wood River provides the backbone for local industry and recreation. The landscape is defined by extensive protected lands, notably the Beach Pond Reservation and Arcadia Reservation, which preserve the rocky terrain of Bald Hill and Penny Hill. Traces of earlier small-scale manufacturing are evident at Browning Mill and the Fish Hatchery, while rural life is marked by the presence of the West Exeter Ch and West Greenwich Sch.
