2012 Map of Quonochontaug

About this map

Quonochontaug Neck and the barrier beaches of Washington County define this coastal landscape, where the Atlantic Ocean meets a series of complex salt ponds and breachways. The residential patterns of Haversham, Shelter Harbor, and Shady Harbor reflect a post-war era of coastal development, punctuated by seasonal landmarks like the Weekapaug Inn Beach and the Sam Ferretti Blue Shutters Town Beach. Further inland, the Woody Hill Man Area provides a contrast of managed woodland against the densely platted streets of Charlestown Beach. Transportation and recreation are centered around the water, with the Willows Resort Airport situated near Foster Cove. The map also traces the New London - Block Island Ferry Crossing as it transits through Block Island Sound, illustrating the region's enduring role as a maritime corridor.
