USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Prudence Island and the northern reaches of Conanicut Island sit at the center of this Narragansett Bay study, which details the shoreline and interior of Middletown, Portsmouth, and Newport. The landscape is a mix of agricultural plots, residential expansion, and significant military infrastructure. Massive U.S. Naval Reservations dominate the coastal margins of Aquidneck Island, reflecting the era's heavy defense presence around Coddington Cove and Melville.
