Westerly, a town on the Pawcatuck River near the Connecticut line, is the subject here, and this 1877 bird's-eye view shows it as a working community of mills, churches, and streets seen from above. The map was drawn by O. H. Bailey and J. C. Hazen, who made many such panoramic town views in the 1870s, when local businesses and residents often paid to have their communities pictured in detail. Westerly's nearby granite quarries helped make the town a notable industrial center in the region, and the view is worth studying for the way it records buildings and street layouts from that period.
