1949 Map of Tiverton

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

The Sakonnet River separates the coastal hills of Tiverton and Little Compton from the eastern edge of Portsmouth. During the mid-20th century, this landscape remained largely defined by its colonial-era road networks and rural hamlets, such as Tiverton Four Corners and the village of Adamsville. Religious life is anchored by historic structures including the Old Stone Church, Amicable Church, and St. Madeleines Church. The interior of the quadrangle is characterized by a mix of wetlands like the Great Swamp and high points such as Windmill Hill and Simmons Hill. Water resources are central to the area's development, evidenced by the Harold E Watson Reservoir and Grays Mill Pond. Along the shore, Fogland Point and the Sapowet Marsh Wildlife Preserve demonstrate the preservation of the estuary's natural character amidst the evolving residential patterns of the Rhode Island coastline.
