1893 Map of Stonington

USGS Topo · Published 1906

About this map

The Pawcatuck River forms a natural border between the coastal settlements of Connecticut and Rhode Island in this late nineteenth-century survey. Industry and maritime commerce define the shoreline, with the New York Providence and Boston Railroad linking the major hubs of Westerly, Stonington, and Mystic Bridge. To the north, the landscape is punctuated by glacial hills and isolated industry, such as the Silex Mine near Lantern Hill. Inland villages like North Stonington, Ashaway, and Potter Hill appear as modest clusters of activity along the smaller stream valleys feeding into the sound. The map details the intricate coastline of Little Narragansett Bay and the varied terrain of Fishers Island, documenting a period when Watch Hill Pt. and Napatree Beach were remote coastal landmarks before the arrival of modern development.
