1889 Map of Charlestown

USGS Topo · Published 1926

About this map

The coastal lagoons and extensive wetlands of Washington County dominate this late nineteenth-century landscape, centered on the town of Charlestown. The topography is defined by its relation to the sea, where Ninigret Pond, Quonochontaug Pond, and Green Hill Pond are separated from the Atlantic Ocean by narrow barriers like Charlestown Beach. Inland, the massive Great Swamp and Indian Cedar Swamp suggest the challenging, water-heavy terrain that early settlers and surveyors navigated.
