1935 Map of Providence

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Providence and its surrounding mill villages appear at a peak of industrial and urban density in this mid-1930s topographic record. The landscape is defined by the Woonasquatucket River and the Pawtuxet River, which powered the development of communities like Olneyville, Manton, and Allendale. Extensive institutional grounds occupy large tracts of the city, from the academic campus of Brown University to the specialized facilities of the State Home for Children and the Dexter Asylum.
