About this map

Narragansett Pier and the neighboring villages of Wakefield and Peace Dale are the primary settlements shown along this coastal section of Rhode Island. The terrain is defined by the narrow Pettaquamscutt River and its accompanying coves, which separate the mainland from the Bonnet Shores and Boston Neck areas. The map details a landscape transition from dense residential clusters like Pettaquamscutt Lake Shores to the rocky shoreline of the Atlantic Ocean.

Genealogists and local historians will find the exact locations of the Tower Hill Cem and Robinson Cem, alongside institutional landmarks like the Univ of Rhode Island Graduate School of Oceanography at South Ferry. To the east, across the East Passage, the map covers the western edge of Conanicut Island and the town of Jamestown, illustrating the maritime geography of Dutch Island Harbor and the numerous named points and coves including Mackerel Cove and Beaverhead.
