1931 Map of Newport
USGS Topo · Published 1931About this map
Coastal defenses and maritime infrastructure define the entrance to Narragansett Bay in this 1931 edition, which incorporates military survey data from the early twentieth century. The tactical importance of the harbor is evident through the concentration of installations such as Fort Adams, Fort Wetherill, and the Naval Torpedo Sta. on Goat Island. On the western shore, the Sea View R.R. Co. Electric R.R. connects the settlements of Wakefield and Narragansett Pier, tracing the coast toward Point Judith.
