1892 Map of Narragansett Bay

USGS Topo · Published 1931

About this map

Narragansett Bay serves as the focal point of this late 19th-century coastal survey, illustrating the maritime and industrial connectivity of Rhode Island before the automobile era. The shoreline is dense with a network of specialized rail lines, including the New York Providence and Boston R.R. and the Warren and Bristol R.R., which linked coastal hubs to inland commerce. Coastal navigation is marked by several sentinels, such as Warwick Light and the Prudence I. Light, guiding traffic through the passages around Prudence Island and Conanicut Island.
