About this map

Indian Burying Hill stands as a significant cultural landmark in this coastal region of southern Rhode Island, surveyed in the late 19th century. The landscape is defined by its extensive wetlands and ponds, including the massive Great Swamp and Indian Cedar Swamp, which dominate the interior. The coastal geography is characterized by a series of salt ponds like Ninigret Pond and Quonochontaug Pond, separated from the Atlantic by narrow barrier beaches.
