Point Judith anchors the northwestern corner of this coastal survey, where the rocky Rhode Island shoreline meets the Atlantic Ocean. The map documents the recreational and maritime landscape of the South County coast, featuring the popular sands of Captain Roger W Wheeler State Beach and the smaller enclave at Seaweed Beach. Beyond the immediate surf, the survey traces the boundary between Washington and Newport counties as it extends into open water, following the path of the Intracoastal Waterway. This area is characterized by low-lying coastal features like Muddy Pond and hazardous outcrops such as Peaked Rock and Champlin Rock, which have historically defined the navigation of these waters. The limited residential grid is represented by streets like Chestnut Ave and Calif Ave, illustrating the intersection of local beach communities with the vast marine environment.
