1953 Map of Watch Hill
USGS Topo · Published 1954About this map
The Pawcatuck River serves as the winding boundary between Connecticut and Rhode Island in this mid-century survey, dividing the industrial and residential centers of Pawcatuck and Westerly. The landscape is a complex mix of maritime recreation and established infrastructure, featuring the sprawling Barn Island Hunting Area to the west and the developed shoreline of Misquamicut and Watch Hill to the south. The presence of Quarries (Abandoned) north of town hints at the area's granite industry, while the Westerly State Airport and the New Haven and Hartford RR corridor illustrate the region's role as a transportation hub.
