This beautifully designed map of Pawtucket, Rhode Island was created by KNOWOL in 2026. It shows the city 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 Veterans Memorial Park and Wilkinson Park comes straight from United States Geological Survey elevation data, and every street name was taken from Census Bureau files, down to East Pawt Industrial Highway.
Local historical buildings and landmarks such as Old Slater Mill and Pitcher-Goff House were confirmed against the National Park Service and the National Register of Historic Places, while Cape Verdean Museum and Veterans Memorial 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 Pawtucket home. It is a memory of the city, 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.
