1979 Map of Providence

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Providence and its surrounding industrial corridor appear here at the end of the 1970s, defined by the convergence of the Blackstone River and Pawtuxet River into the Providence Harbor. The map reveals a densely developed urban landscape where older neighborhoods like Olneyville and Pawtuxet are bisected by the modern paths of Interstate 95 and Interstate 195. To the north, the textile heritage of the valley is evident in the layout of Central Falls, Valley Falls, and Lonsdale.
