About this map

The coastal lagoons and extensive wetlands of Washington County dominate this late 19th-century survey. Along the Atlantic shoreline, the map details the intricate barrier beach system including Ninigret Pond, Quonochontaug Pond, and Green Hill Pond, punctuated by the Charlestown Inlet. Inland, the massive Great Swamp sits adjacent to Worden's Pond, while landmarks like Indian Burying Hill and Indian Cedar Swamp reflect the deep indigenous history of the Narragansett region.
