About this map

Scituate Reservoir dominates this landscape, its expansive waters and the Ashland Causeway shaping the transport and settlement patterns of central Rhode Island. This mid-1990s data reflects a region where massive hydraulic infrastructure and dense woodland meet suburban expansion. Notable for local historians are the numerous small burial grounds, such as Glenford Cem, and institutional landmarks like the Waterman Industrial Sch and the Scituate Town House.

The map details a network of reservoirs and ponds, including Waterman Reservoir and Slack Reservoir, illustrating the legacy of water management in the region. To the east, the transition into Cranston and Simmonsville shows a more developed character compared to the protected lands of Snake Den State Park. From the Gainer Memorial Dam to the crossroads at Waterman Four Corners, the sheet documents the intricate geography of Providence County's western reaches.
