About this map

Industrial villages and textile centers crowd the riverbanks in this late nineteenth-century portrait of central Rhode Island. The Pawtuxet Valley Railroad and the New York and New England Railroad create a dense corridor of commerce, linking concentrated manufacturing points like Phenix, Lippitt, and Arctic. These busy rail-and-river towns stand in sharp contrast to the interior reaches of Coventry and West Greenwich, where the landscape is defined by extensive wetlands like Mishnock Swamp and prominent elevations including Biscuit Hill and Weaver Hill.
