2024 Map of Providence

About this map

Providence serves as the dense urban core of this 2024 landscape, where the confluence of the Woonasquatucket River and Moshassuck River meets the head of the Providence River. The city’s institutional history is deeply etched into the street grid, from the sprawling campus of Brown University to the Rhode Island School of Design. To the north and west, established industrial and residential neighborhoods like Olneyville, Lymansville, and Centerdale follow the river valleys, while Pawtucket sits at the northern edge. The map is particularly rich for genealogists, documenting numerous historic interments such as the North Burial Ground and the Quaker Burial Ground. The shoreline remains a focal point of activity, marked by Providence Harbor and the navigational hazard of Green Jacket Shoal, illustrating the enduring maritime character of the Seekonk River and its surrounding reaches.
