Trustom Pond National Wildlife Refuge dominates the coastline of this Rhode Island survey, preserving a critical barrier beach and coastal pond ecosystem. The landscape is defined by the complex interface of the Atlantic Ocean and tidal salt ponds, including Green Hill Pond and Trustom Pond. Along the shore, numerous family-named landmarks and beaches such as Roy Carpenters Beach, Willow Dell Beach, and A B Carpenters Beach reflect the region's long history as a summer destination. Near the settlement of Green Hill, the land is etched with small coves and points like Flat Meadow Point and Browning Point. Further offshore, the map traces vital maritime transit routes, including the Point Judith Ferry and the Newport - Block Island Ferry, which navigate past Nebraska Shoal and through the Intracoastal Waterway toward the Point Judith Harbor of Refuge.
