1942 Map of Prudence Island

USGS Topo · Published 1942

About this map

Prudence Island and the neighboring shoreline of Rhode Island appear in significant detail during the early 1940s, a period marked by extensive coastal military activity. The U.S. Naval Reservation at Melville and the U.S. Naval Res on Gould Island reflect the strategic importance of Narragansett Bay during the war. On the mainland, the landscape of Portsmouth and Middletown is defined by a network of established country lanes like Wapping Road and West Main Road, connecting local centers such as South Portsmouth and Whitehall.
