About this map

Providence and its surrounding neighborhoods are defined by the convergence of the Woonasquatucket River and Moshassuck River as they empty into Providence Harbor. This 2018 survey illustrates a densely populated urban corridor extending from Pawtucket in the north through Warwick and Cranston in the south. The map provides a detailed view of the city’s academic and civic core, featuring institutions like Brown University and Rhode Island School of Design, alongside the Roger Williams National Memorial.

Significant burial sites and landmarks dot the landscape, including the sprawling North Burial Ground and Swan Point Cemetery along the Providence River. Moving west, the terrain rises toward heights such as Neutaconkanut Hill and Fruit Hill. Industrial legacy is visible in the chain of mill ponds like Allendale Mill Pond and Lyman Mill Pond, while the Providence & Worcester RR continues to trace the rail corridors that once fueled the region's economy.
