Narragansett Bay serves as the focal point of this survey, defining the coastal identities of Prudence Island, Jamestown, and the northern reaches of Newport. The landscape is heavily marked by familial and community lineage, evidenced by the dense concentration of small burial grounds such as the Captain Job Lawton Lot Cem and Joseph Fish Lot Cem that dot the countryside between Portsmouth and Middletown. These sites, alongside larger religious landmarks like Saint Mary's Episcopal Churchyard Cem, suggest a deeply rooted settlement pattern where private family plots have been preserved amidst modern infrastructure.
