1953 Map of Quonochontaug

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Ninigret Pond and Quonochontaug Pond dominate this coastal survey of Washington County, illustrating a mid-century shoreline defined by narrow barrier beaches and sprawling state reservations. The U S Naval Auxiliary Air Station occupies a significant portion of the Charlestown coastline, its runways adjacent to the quiet waters of Foster Cove. Inland, the landscape transitions from the dense forests of Woody Hill State Reservation and Burlingame State Reservation to small residential clusters like Shelter Harbor and Haversham.
