Explore Narragansett Pier, Rhode Island, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Narragansett Pier, Rhode Island. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Rhode Island or beyond.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).
TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Narragansett Pier.
Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

Narragansett Pier commands a stretch of the Atlantic Ocean where the horizon dissolves into a seamless, shifting gray. It lies 8.4 miles west-southwest of Newport, RI (from Newport, RI: bearing 242°T), and is situated 4.8 miles southeast of Kingston. The granite edges of the shoreline meet the tide with a resolute permanence, while Ocean Road offers a linear passage through the salt-heavy air that clings to the skin like a memory. Beyond the immediate reach of the surf, the quiet inland waters of Lake Canonchet provide a stillness that contrasts with the rhythmic percussion of the sea. Far off, the distant silhouette of Beals Ledge anchors the imagination, though the true character of the terrain remains defined by the proximity of Gooseberry Island, a jagged presence rising from the currents just a mile from the breakers.
Architectural legacies of a more gilded era define the horizon of Narragansett Pier, where remnants of grand summer estates still stand as witnesses to the shifting tides of the local economy. Once a destination for the Gilded Age elite, the locality now balances its historical grandeur with the seasonal pulse of a coastal transit point, where the flow of visitors sustains the rhythm of the shops and cafes. Life here is measured by the seasonal retreat of the sun and the slow, meandering path of Crooked Brook as it winds through the interior landscape toward the coast. While the nearby terrain of Austin Hollow offers a sheltered respite from the wind, the enduring spirit of the place remains firmly tied to the salt spray and the persistent, unceasing movement of the tides.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
