2024 Map of Sakonnet Point

USGS Topo · Published 2024

About this map

The coastal landscape of Little Compton and Middletown is dominated by the Sachuest Point National Wildlife Refuge and the rugged southern tip of the Sachuest Peninsula. This modern survey reveals a region defined by historical family plots and maritime landmarks, where the Atlantic shoreline is punctuated by Sakonnet Point and the protected waters of Briggs Marsh. The map provides significant genealogical value through the documentation of numerous small, family-named burial sites such as the Old Wilbor Burying Ground Cem and the Seaconnet Cem. These sites, alongside larger holdings like the Briggs Brownell Lot Cem, reflect the deep-rooted agricultural and seafaring lineage of Rhode Island's southernmost reaches. Settlement clusters at Sakonnet and Woods Castle are connected by a network of historic thoroughfares including W Main Rd and Warrens Point Rd, which wind past secluded coastal ponds like Watch House Pond and Round Pond.
