About this map

Sterling and Oneco anchor this mid-century survey of the Connecticut and Rhode Island borderlands, where the New York New Haven and Hartford railroad cuts through the valley of the Moosup River. The map captures a landscape defined by small rural hubs and family-named landmarks, such as Almyville and Rice City, connected by a network of winding roads and local infrastructure.

Genealogists and local historians can trace specific community centers like the Ekonk Ch and Sterling Hill Sch, or locate family burial grounds including Gallup Cem and Cedar Swamp Cem. The terrain is punctuated by significant heights like Webb Hill and Carbuncle Hill, while the southeastern corner reveals a dense collection of water bodies, including Hazard Pond and Wickaboxet Pond, highlighting the complex drainage patterns near the state line.
