1955 Map of Prudence Island

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Narragansett Bay dominates this mid-century portrait of coastal Rhode Island, where the landscape is a patchwork of military installations, agriculture, and expanding residential pockets. Extensive U S Naval Reservation lands occupy significant portions of Prudence Island and the coastline near Melville, while the interior of Middletown and Portsmouth retains a dense network of local schools and churches. Genealogical markers are numerous, from the St Columbas Cemetery to schools like Hutchinson Sch and Oliphant Sch that served these growing townships.
