1944 Map of Watch Hill

Further south, the geography shifts to the barrier beaches and salt ponds of the Atlantic coastline. Landmarks like the Watch Hill Lighthouse at Watch Hill Pt and the expansive Winnapaug Pond dominate the southern tier. This 1944 survey captures the region's mid-century character, from the residential clusters at Clarks Village and Avondale to the coastal stretches of Misquamicut and Atlantic Beach, balanced by the protected woods of the Woody Hill Reservation.
