About this map

Narragansett Pier and the coastal defenses of Rhode Island appear here in 1942, reflecting a shoreline defined by both summer recreation and wartime vigilance. The map details the developed waterfront between Bonnet Shores and Point Judith, featuring prominent coastal installations like Fort Phillip Kearney and Fort Nathaniel Green. Inland, the settlements of Wakefield and Peace Dale show a dense network of streets and buildings near the Saugatuckett River, while the rural stretches are marked by family-named landmarks like McSparran Hill and Rose Hill.
