1957 Map of Wickford

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Quonset Point dominates the northern shoreline of this mid-century coastal survey, reflecting the heavy military footprint of the U S Naval Reservation during the height of the Cold War. The map details the intricate infrastructure of the Quonset Point Naval Air Station alongside the deeply indented coves of Wickford Harbor. Inland, the landscape retains its colonial-era roots, marked by ancient burial grounds like Quidnessett Cem and the Old Meetinghouse near the Kent and Washington county line.
