About this map

New Shoreham encompasses the entirety of this island landscape, as documented in an 1886 survey by the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey. This coastal study highlights the maritime importance of the area, featuring the Block Island N.L.H. at Sandy Point and the Block Island S.E.L.H. near the southeastern cliffs. The interior is a dense network of freshwater and salt bodies, including the expansive Great Salt Pond and smaller basins like Sachem Pond, Middle Pond, and Fresh Pond.
