About this map

Sakonnet Point and the rocky southeastern edge of Little Compton define this late-nineteenth-century coastal survey. The map emphasizes the interaction between the Sakonnet River and the open Atlantic Ocean, detailing a coastline characterized by sharp points and sheltered coves. A notable man-made Breakwater at the tip of the peninsula indicates the maritime activity and navigational needs of the 1880s.
