About this map

The Moosup River winds through this borderland where Connecticut and Rhode Island meet, anchoring a landscape defined by small historic villages and numerous family burial plots. Early industrial and agricultural nodes like Sterling and Oneco are documented alongside smaller settlements such as Rice City, Fairbanks Corner, and Greene. The area’s genealogical depth is evident in the dozens of named family cemeteries, including the Stephen Burlingame Lot Cem, Dorrance-Jenks Lot, and the Thomas Morris Lot Cem near the southern border.

Conservation and recreation corridors shape the modern terrain, notably the Moosup Valley State Park Trl and the vast Pachaug State Forest to the southwest. Significant water features like Moosup Pond and Roger Lake contrast with the higher elevations of Webb Hill and Ekonk Hill, while the Wood-Pawcatuck Watershed Wild and Scenic River designation highlights the environmental importance of these headwaters.
