1957 Map of Block Island

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The town of New Shoreham serves as the hub for this island landscape, where the local economy and geography center on the massive Great Salt Pond and the maritime infrastructure of New Harbor and Old Harbor. A dense network of family-named cemeteries, including Island Cem, Sheffield Cem, and Dodge Cem, provides a detailed record of the island's generational residency. The terrain is a complex arrangement of glacial kettle ponds and swamps, from the northern Sachem Pond and Niles Swamp to the southern Great Swamp.
