2012 Map of Oneco

About this map

The Moosup River winds through this borderland region between Connecticut and Rhode Island, connecting the industrial legacy of Sterling and Oneco with the rural reaches of Moosup Valley. The landscape is a mosaic of small mill ponds and upland heights, where landmarks like Webb Hill and the Sterling Fire Tower overlook the valley. This 2012 survey illustrates the persistence of early colonial settlement patterns through various family-named sites, including Gallups Cem and Vaughn Hollow. Significant tracts of public land are preserved within the Pachaug State Frst and the Arcadia Man Area, providing a buffer of conservation amidst the crossroads of Rice City and Fairbanks Corner. The presence of small aviation infrastructure like Riconn Airport and numerous water bodies such as Carbuncle Pond and Wickaboxet Pond underscores the area's mix of recreation and transportation.
