Narragansett Pier and the surrounding coastline of Washington County reveal a landscape defined by its complex maritime geography and a dense record of family lineage. This survey documents the coastal reaches from the Pettaquamscutt River down to Point Judith Neck, where the John H Chafee National Wildlife Refuge preserves significant marshes and sedge beds. The interior is notably thick with small, family-named burial grounds like the Nathan Gardner Lot Cem and the Beriah B Gardner Lot Cem, reflecting the early agrarian and maritime settlements that predated modern coastal development.
