Little Compton and the rugged coastal edges of Middletown define this late nineteenth-century maritime landscape where the Sakonnet River meets the Atlantic Ocean. The survey reveals a coastline shaped by both nature and human engineering, notably the protective Breakwater sheltering the waters near Sakonnet Point. This area was characterized by a series of coastal ponds, including Tunipus Pond, Round Pond, and Long Pond, which sit just inland from the rocky points and sandy stretches of Tunipus Beach.
