1957 Map of Providence

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Providence and its surrounding industrial suburbs appear here during a period of significant urban transformation. The dense street grid of the city center is dominated by the State Capitol and Sts Peter & Paul Cathedral, while the waterfront along Providence Harbor remains an active maritime hub with features like Wilkes Barre Pier and Harbor Junc Wharf. The map traces the extensive Conrail network as it winds through neighborhoods like Olneyville and Pawtuxet, illustrating the rail-heavy infrastructure of the mid-20th century.
