2018 Map of Head of Westport

About this map

Westport Point and the intricate coastal estuaries of Bristol County define this landscape, where the East Branch Westport River and West Branch Westport River converge before meeting the Atlantic Ocean. The region is marked by a dense network of historical hamlets and road junctions including Central Village, South Westport, and Handy Four Corners. This 2018 survey captures the balance between maritime geography and long-established settlement patterns, from the northern Head of Westport down to the barrier beach at Horseneck Beach. Inland, the map reveals numerous small family and community cemeteries like Beech Grove Cem and Maple Grove Cem, alongside local landmarks such as Westport Airport and Camp Noquochoke. The proximity to the Rhode Island border is evident at Acoaxet, showing the historical continuity of this coastal New England corner.
