About this map

Wickford Harbor and its complex network of coves and inlets define this coastal landscape on the West Passage of Narragansett Bay. This modern record reveals an area where 18th-century maritime history meets 20th-century aviation infrastructure at Quonset State Airport. The inland terrain is notably dense with family burial grounds, such as the Jeffrey Davis Lot and Pardon Tillinghast Lot Cem, offering a deep genealogical layer for the settlements of Davisville and Lafayette.

Industry and transport are woven into the geography, from the historical Mill Rock in Hamilton to the modern span of the Jamestown Bridge. The abundance of small family plots and named features like Hornbeam Chapel highlights the enduring character of these coastal villages. The map also documents significant land use at the NG Camp Fogarty TNG Site, showing the continued strategic and civic importance of this North Kingstown corridor.
