1894 Map of Providence

USGS Topo · Published 1911

About this map

Providence and its industrial satellites are depicted here at the height of the Victorian manufacturing era, where the Seekonk River and Providence River meet to form Narragansett Bay. The concentration of textile and paper infrastructure is immense, featuring prominent works such as Sayles Bleachery, Conant Thread Co, and the Dunnell Print Works. These industrial hubs are inextricably linked to the rail network, including the Old Colony RR Providence Division and the Old Colony RR Worcester Division, which carved through established neighborhoods like Edgewood and Riverside.
