1939 Map of Prudence Island

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

Prudence Island sits at the heart of this survey, flanked by the East Passage and the broader waters of Narragansett Bay. The landscape of the late 1930s is defined by a mix of maritime infrastructure and rural estates, with the northern reaches of Newport and the rolling terrain of Middletown and Portsmouth showing a dense network of local lanes like Wapping Rd and Green End Ave. Military and institutional presence is prominent, evidenced by the US Naval Reservation and US Naval Hospital near the coast.
