2021 Map of Newport

About this map

Newport's historic core and harbor dominate this coastal survey, where a dense concentration of civic and religious history is visible through numerous burial grounds and landmarks. Genealogists can trace family lineages through the Island Cem, Common Burial Ground Cem, and several smaller plots like the Jewish Cem and Arnold Burying Ground. The maritime character of Newport Neck is defined by its complex shoreline, from the defensive site of Ft Wetherill on the west to the university grounds at Salve Regina University on the eastern cliffs. The landscape is a mix of established urban blocks, including the Murray Judicial Complex, and the rugged, rocky points of the south shore such as Brenton Point and Gooseberry Island. Across the East Passage, the map captures the eastern edge of Jamestown and its own local landmarks like The Dumplings.
