About this map

North Scituate and the surrounding Providence County landscape are defined by an intricate network of water management and varied topography. The massive Scituate Reservoir dominates the western half of the map, while smaller bodies like Moswansicut Pond, Oak Swamp Reservoir, and Slacks Pond illustrate the intensive hydraulic engineering of the region. The terrain is marked by distinctive elevations including Sutamachute Hill, Suckatunkanuc Hill, and Bare Rock, which break up the wooded areas and suburban developments of Cranston.

Genealogists and local historians can locate specific family and burial sites, such as the Glenford Cem Scituate Historic Cem 31 and the William Waterman Plot. The map also captures several distinct residential and industrial clusters like Simmonsville, Saundersville, and Comstock Gardens. The preserved area of Snake Den offers a look at the more natural sections of the county, contrasting with the dense road networks of Hartford Pike and the I-295 corridor.
