About this map

The Univ of Rhode Island anchor this coastal landscape in Washington Co, where the historic village of Kingston sits just east of the critical rail junction at Kingston Station. The map illustrates the transition from the upland terrain of Kingston Hill down to the complex hydrology of the Great Swamp Goose Marsh and the massive expanse of Worden Pond. This inland water system feeds south toward the Atlantic, passing through small communities like Tuckertown and Perryville.

Along the jagged coastline, the fishing villages of Galilee and Jerusalem flank the breachway, while the Galilee Escape Route highlights the contemporary infrastructure of these vulnerable low-lying areas. Numerous islands and points, such as Gardner Island and Thomas Point, define the intricate shoreline of the Point Judith Pond region. The Amtrak line serves as a primary transit spine, connecting West Kingston to the broader Northeast corridor, while local roads like Post Rd and Saugatucket Rd link the residential and commercial centers of Wakefield and Gould.
