About this map

Green Hill stands as the primary coastal settlement in this maritime survey, situated where the shoreline meets the tidal waters of Green Hill Pond. The landscape is defined by its complex shoreline of points and islands, including High Neck Gooseberry Island, Hog Hill Island, and Browning Point. Further east, a series of private and public stretches of sand like Roy Carpenters Beach, Willow Dell Beach, and Matunuck Beach illustrate the mid-20th-century development of the Rhode Island coast for recreation.

The southern half of the sheet is dominated by the open Atlantic Ocean, revealing the transit routes and underwater hazards essential to local navigation. The Point Judith-Block Island Fry line cuts across the waters, passing by the protected Point Judith Harbor of Refuge. Submerged features such as Nebraska Shoal and Catumb Rocks provide critical context for the maritime history and fishing industry of Washington County.
