1955 Map of Prudence Island

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Prudence Island and Conanicut Island anchor this coastal survey, which reveals a landscape defined by strategic maritime activity and established residential hamlets in the mid-1950s. The heavy footprint of the U S Naval Reservation spans both Prudence and the mainland near Melville, reflecting the region's critical military importance. Further south, the urban core of Newport meets the suburban expansion of Middletown, where local community life is marked by the Middletown Cem, Berkeley Sch, and the Drive-in theater.
