1957 Map of Providence

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Providence and its industrial satellites are captured here in a period of dense post-war development, radiating from the State Capitol and the bustling downtown core. The landscape is a network of tightly packed neighborhoods like Olneyville, South Providence, and Geneva, which grew alongside the Woonasquatucket River and the New York New Haven and Hartford RR. This era shows a city deeply invested in its social and educational infrastructure, evidenced by the sprawling Providence College, Pembroke College, and the massive State Institutions complex to the south.
