About this map

The industrial centers of Providence, Fall River, and New Bedford anchor this mid-century look at Southern New England's maritime landscape. The map captures the region's dense coastal development and strategic military importance during the late 1950s, highlighting several coastal defenses including Fort Adams and Fort Rodman. Significant infrastructure is visible, from the tracks of the New York, New Haven and Hartford RR to the Quonset Point Naval Air Station on the shore of Narragansett Bay.
