1904 Map of Newport

About this map

Newport and the surrounding islands of Narragansett Bay appear here as they were surveyed in the late 19th century, showing a landscape defined by maritime commerce and coastal defense. The harbor is anchored by Fort Adams and Fort Walcott on Goat Island, while the western shore of Conanicut Island features the prominent Beaver Tail Light. On the mainland, the Pettaquamscutt River flows behind Point Judith Neck, insulating the village of Narragansett Pier.
