1893 Map of Stonington

USGS Topo · Published 1935

About this map

Stonington and the bustling corridor of the New York Providence and Boston Railroad define this coastal landscape at the end of the nineteenth century. The map highlights the complex maritime geography of Mystic Harbor and Little Narragansett Bay, where seafaring communities like Noank and Mystic Bridge thrived alongside industrial hubs such as Westerly. Inland, the terrain rises toward hills like Lantern Hill, where the Silex Mine marks early extraction efforts near the banks of Long Pond. The Pawcatuck River serves as a vital artery and boundary between Connecticut and Rhode Island, connecting villages like Stillmanville, White Rock, and Potter Hill. From the Life Saving Station at Watch Hill to the remote reaches of Wyassup Lake, the map captures a transition from maritime commerce to mill-driven river settlements.
