About this map

The Scituate Reservoir dominates the southwestern quadrant of this Providence County landscape, marking the headwaters of the North Branch Pawtuxet River. The region is defined by a dense concentration of family burial lots and historic cemeteries, reflecting deep genealogical roots in settlements like North Scituate, Greenville, and Saundersville. These ancestral sites, such as the Doctor Benjamin Belknap Lot Cem and Major Thomas Mitchell Lot, are interspersed among prominent granite outcrops and hills, including Snake Den, Bare Rock, and Sutamachute Hill.

Major transportation arteries like the Putnam Pike, Hartford Pike, and Plainfield Pike bisect the terrain, connecting small villages to the larger hub of Cranston. The land is heavily partitioned by water bodies like Moswansicut Pond and Slack Reservoir, illustrating a landscape shaped both by natural glacial features and historical industrial water management. This survey provides an exact record of property divisions and local landmarks as they exist in the modern era.
