1953 Map of Oneco

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The Moosup River carves through the rugged borderlands of Eastern Connecticut and Western Rhode Island, anchoring a landscape defined by timber and early manufacturing. The settlements of Sterling and Oneco developed around the river's power, while smaller villages like Almyville and Rice City represent the scattered textile and agricultural hamlets of the era. Much of the southern terrain is dominated by the sprawling Pachaug State Forest, where early 20th-century conservation efforts preserved the rocky upland character. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of remote rural landmarks, including the Ekonk Ch and the Gallup Cem near the Windham and New London county line. On the Rhode Island side, the high ground of Carbuncle Hill overlooks the quiet roads leading to the crossroads at Fairbanks Corner. From the Lookout Tower on Ekonk Hill to the small Ricann Airport, the map traces a transition from industrial valley to protected woodland.
