Towns, rivers, coastal inlets, and an intricate railroad network are clearly shown, reflecting Rhode Island’s industrial and maritime importance during this period. The map highlights key locations including Providence, Newport, Pawtucket, Woonsocket, Warwick, Bristol, and Westerly, with Narragansett Bay forming the dramatic heart of the composition. Rail lines are picked out in red and blue, creating a lively visual rhythm across the otherwise restrained engraved base. An inset map of the City of Providence adds urban detail and visual interest, making this sheet especially appealing to collectors and interior designers alike. Published by Rand, McNally & Co., this map combines cartographic clarity with strong decorative appeal. Its balanced proportions and subtle color accents make it well suited for both traditional and contemporary interiors, whether styled as a single statement piece or as part of a New England map wall. Printed on original period atlas paper, the sheet shows the gentle patina and texture expected of a genuine antique map, adding warmth and authenticity impossible to replicate in modern reproductions.
