1943 Map of Voluntown

About this map

The Pachaug River and Green Fall River systems define this 1940s landscape along the Connecticut and Rhode Island border. At the time of this survey, the area was characterized by a dense network of ponds and swamps, including Beach Pond and Billings Lake, which supported local industry and recreation. The village of Voluntown serves as a western anchor, while the small settlements of Rockville and Escoheag illustrate the rural distribution of populations across the state line. Genealogy researchers will find specific localized landmarks such as Rockville Cem, Wylie Sch, and Pendleton Hill Sch. The presence of the Fish Hatchery near the northern border and the Fire Tower on Escoheag Hill highlights the region's mid-century focus on conservation and forestry management within the rugged terrain of Beach Pond State Park.
