About this map

The Pawcatuck River forms the state boundary between Stonington and Westerly in this 1940s-era topographic study. The landscape reflects a coastal economy transitioning between industrial roots and seaside recreation, featuring active quarries near Quarry Hill Sch alongside emerging resort areas at Misquamicut and Watch Hill. The New York New Haven and Hartford railroad tracks parallel the river, serving the core settlements of Westerly and Pawcatuck.
