1889 Map of Charlestown

USGS Topo · Published 1941

About this map

Indian Burying Hill and the vast Indian Cedar Swamp dominate the central landscape of this late 19th-century coastal survey. The southern shoreline is defined by a series of significant salt ponds, including Ninigret and Quonochontaug Pond, separated from the Atlantic Ocean by narrow barrier beaches such as Charlestown Beach. Inland, the geography is a complex network of glacial ponds and wetlands, with Worden's Pond serving as a major hydrologic feature.
