About this map

Beach Pond straddles the border between Connecticut and Rhode Island, anchoring a landscape defined by significant water systems and early family settlements. This 2012 survey details the transition from the village center of Voluntown to the surrounding rural reaches of Escoheag and Rockville. The area is notably dense with genealogical sites, featuring numerous family-named cemeteries such as Old Kinne Cem, Gallup Cem, and Kennedy Cem that trace the lineage of early inhabitants near Gallup Farm.

Hydrological features dominate the terrain, from the Pachaug River and Wiclabouet Marsh in the west to the cascading Stepstone Falls on the Falls River Road. Significant landmarks like Mount Misery and Dye Hill rise above the complex network of brooks and ponds, while the historical Shetucket Tpke and Old Voluntown Rd provide a clear view of the regional transit corridors as they existed at the start of the 21st century.
