This beautifully designed map of North Smithfield, Rhode Island was created by KNOWOL in 2026. It shows the town and its streets as they look in the modern day, combining topographical data with the beautiful aesthetic of vintage atlases. The map was built from public survey records and professional geographic data that modern day cartographers rely on. The shaded relief of the landscape around Fort Nature Refuge and Pacheco Park comes straight from United States Geological Survey elevation data, and every street name was taken from Census Bureau files, down to Pound Hill Road.
Local historical buildings and landmarks such as Todd Farm and Tyler Mowry House were confirmed against the National Park Service and the National Register of Historic Places, while Fort Nature Refuge and Pacheco Park, the paths, parks, and current points of interest come from OpenStreetMap, a database of local geographic knowledge.
The combination of modern data with a vintage historical map aesthetic creates a one-of-a-kind piece made for people who call North Smithfield home. It is a memory of the town, as it is today. You can zoom in on the map below to explore the details, or click here to purchase a print for your home.
