About this map

The Sakonnet River shoreline and the historic village of Little Compton anchor this coastal survey, which documents the southeastern corner of Rhode Island along the Massachusetts border. The landscape is a mix of protected coastal ponds like Nonquit Pond and interior water bodies such as the Harold E Watson Reservoir. Long-established settlements are well-defined, including the historic crossroads of Tiverton Four Corners and the community of Adamsville situated on the border.

Genealogical interest is found in the Old Burying Ground and Union Cem near the town centers, while the coastal geography is detailed through numerous points and coves, from Sapowet Point to Black Point. The area's agricultural and rural character is preserved in features like Wing-Over Farm Airport and the numerous small brooks, including Sisson Brook and Cold Brook, that drain toward the Atlantic Ocean.
