About this map

Industrial expansion along the Blackstone River and Seekonk River defines this late nineteenth-century survey. The dense grid of Providence and Pawtucket shows a region dominated by manufacturing, where specialized facilities like the Sayles Bleachery, Conant Thread Co., and Dunnell Print Works sit alongside workers' settlements. Social infrastructure of the era is remarkably visible, including the Butler Hospital, the Dexter Asylum, and the Reform School.
