About this map

Newport and its immediate surroundings on Rhode Island Sound are meticulously documented, revealing a coastal landscape defined by maritime heritage and a high density of ancestral burial sites. This survey highlights the complex shoreline from Southwest Point on Conanicut Island to the eastern reaches of Sachuest Point National Wildlife Refuge. The map serves as a vital record for genealogists, featuring numerous colonial-era and family plots such as the John Clarke Burial Ground, the Governor Benedict Arnold Graveyard, and the Colonial Jewish Cem. Institutional landmarks like Salve Regina University and the Murray Judicial Complex anchor the modern city, while the southern peninsula's winding roads like Ocean Ave trace the rocky perimeter of Newport Neck, passing significant natural features like Lily Pond and Gooseberry Island.
