2015 Map of Providence

About this map

The Moshassuck River and Seekonk River converge in this densely populated urban corridor, where the historic core of Pawtucket meets the state capital. This survey illustrates a landscape deeply shaped by education and public memory, featuring the campuses of Brown Univ, Rhode Island Coll, and the Rhode Island Sch of Design. Large memorial spaces such as the North Burial Ground and Swan Point Cem flank the riverbanks, while the Roger Williams National Memorial anchors the center of the city near the Crawford Street Bridge. Industrial roots remain visible in place names and infrastructure, from the Cranston Print Works Pond in the west to the active waterfront at Providence Harbor. Neighborhoods like Olneyville, Manton, and Fruit Hill show the tight residential patterns of the early 21st century, punctuated by reservoirs such as Wenscott Reservoir that historically supported the region's textile and manufacturing development.
