About this map

The Pawtuxet River and the complex shoreline of the western Narragansett Bay dominate this 1888 survey, revealing an era of established coastal villages and heavy rail traffic. Large institutional tracts like the State Prison and State Farm mark the northern landscape, while the interior is crisscrossed by major lines including the New York Providence and Boston R. R. and the Pawtuxet Valley R.R. These tracks connect maritime hubs like Wickford and industrial centers like Natick to the broader regional economy.
