Newport Map Art

Newport's harbor-bound street grid follows the rocky coastline, with Cliff Walk tracing the southern edge above Atlantic Avenue and the mansions' grounds. Thames Street runs parallel to the waterfront, anchoring the colonial downtown, while the grid breaks into irregular patterns inland where topography rises toward Bellevue Avenue. Narragansett Bay cuts deep into the northern side, creating the irregular shoreline that defined the city's eighteenth-century merchant layout.
