About this map

Thompson and the surrounding borderlands of Windham County and Providence County exhibit a landscape of interconnected water bodies and early New England land divisions. The Fivemile River and Cady Brook drainage systems anchor the region's topography, feeding numerous basins like the Bowdish Reservoir and Aldrich Pond. This 2021 update reveals a complex network of historic land parcels such as the Clark-Sherman Lot and David Richmond Lot, preserving names that date back to earlier settlement patterns.

Transport history is visible in the corridor of the Airline Trail, while local industry and infrastructure are represented by the Geist Mill Pond and Yankee Airstrip. A series of burial grounds, including the Old East Thompson Cemetery and Munyan Cemetery, provide essential spatial references for genealogists. The terrain is defined by prominent rises like Quaddick Mountain and Rattlesnake Hill, overlooking the village clusters of Quaddick, West Glocester, and East Putnam.
