1889 Map of Charlestown

USGS Topo · Published 1893

About this map

The coastal landscapes of Charlestown and South Kingstown appear here at the close of the 19th century, defined by a series of significant coastal lagoons and inland wetlands. A complex network of salt ponds, including Ninigret Pond, Quonochontaug Pond, and Green Hill Pond, separates the mainland from the Atlantic Ocean, with Quonochontaug Beach and Charlestown Beach forming the thin barrier. Inland, the terrain is dotted with substantial freshwater bodies like Worden's Pond and the extensive Indian Cedar Swamp.
