1948 Map of Providence

USGS Topo · Published 1951

About this map

Narragansett Bay and the arm of Cape Cod anchor this mid-century portrait of southern New England, showing the region's dense industrial corridor and maritime landscape just as the post-war suburban era began to take shape. The map traces the critical transit lines of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad as it connects the manufacturing centers of Providence, Fall River, and New Bedford. At this time, military installations like Quonset Point Naval Air Station and Camp Edwards were active and prominent landmarks on the coast.
