1975 Map of North Scituate

About this map

The vast expanse of the Scituate Reservoir dominates this landscape, held by the Gainer Memorial Dam and crossed by the Ashland Causeway. This mid-1970s record shows the region's complex water management infrastructure, including the Filtration Plant and numerous smaller basins like Moswansicut Pond and Waterman Reservoir. The settlement pattern reflects Rhode Island's historical development along major thoroughfares such as Hartford Pike and Danielson Pike, which converge at North Scituate. Local heritage is preserved in sites like the Scituate Town House and scattered family burial grounds, including Whidding Cem and Colvin Cem. Educational and industrial history is noted at the Waterman Industrial Sch, while the surrounding hills, such as Sickibunkiaut Hill and Peck Hill, define the suburban and rural transition of western Providence County.
