2015 Map of Narragansett Pier

About this map

Narragansett Pier and the surrounding coastline of Rhode Island reflect a landscape deeply shaped by the Atlantic. From the residential developments at Bonnet Shores and Bridgetown to the coastal recreation at Scarborough State Beach, the area is defined by its proximity to the East Passage and the Pettaquamscutt River. The interior geography features significant elevations such as Tower Hill and Meetinghouse Hill, which provided strategic views over the western shore of the Narragansett bay. Local history is anchored by sites like the Riverside Cem and Robinson Cem, while the rugged coastal geology is evidenced by named landmarks like Pettaquamscutt Rock and the lighthouse-guarded points of Conanicut Island. The map documents a sophisticated network of local roads, including the Galilee Escape Route, alongside the quiet inlets of Long Cove and Boiling Lot Cove.
