New Shoreham serves as the central hub of this island landscape, where a network of historic roads like Mohegan Trl and Corn Neck Rd connects the interior to the coast. The map reveals a dense concentration of cemeteries, including the Island Cem and Indian Cem, reflecting deep ancestral roots and centuries of residence. To the north, the Block Island National Wildlife Refuge spans the narrow neck of land leading to Sandy Point and the North Ligth. The island's topography is defined by its numerous coastal features and interior water bodies, such as the expansive Great Salt Pond and the smaller Sands Pond. From the maritime landing at Old Harbor Point to the aviation access at the Block Island State Airport, the map details how this maritime community maintains its isolation through both traditional ferries and modern infrastructure.
