I am not quite sure of the exact source for these interesting drawings from Greater
Rhode Island Roaming, accompanied by this text:
“Confluence of the Ponaganset River and the Moswansicut
River - Over the years ... via historical maps ... starting with the Providence
Purchase Lands map by George Matteson.
I was mesmerized by the Providence Purchase Land map.
Numerous spring locations, Indian paths, cornfields, quarry and burial site.
Plus, homestead locations and plot sizes. Crazy detail!! The amount of research
and effort required to build this map would BLOW.MY.MIND! 🙂
Anywho, you'll probably have to save the image onto your
computer to get the best detail.”
