1984 Map of Sakonnet Point

About this map

Sakonnet Point anchors a maritime landscape defined by treacherous ledges and protective wildlife sanctuaries along the Rhode Island and Massachusetts border. The 1980s coastal profile highlights the transition from the Sachuest Point National Wildlife Refuge in the west to the expansive Horseneck Beach State Reservation in the east. Inland from the Sakonnet River, the village of Sakonnet and the cluster at Bahia Corner sit amongst several distinctive coastal features, including the marshy expanse of Briggs Marsh and the tidal waters of Quicksand Pond. Local history and architecture are represented by the St Andrews by the Sea Ch and the intriguing Woods Castle. Navigation has long been the primary concern here, evidenced by the Lighthouse (Abandoned) and an extensive network of named hazards like Schuyler Ledge and Cormorant Rock that fill the Rhode Island Sound.
