hapacassett,Chachacust, Wannamoisett, and Phebes Neck. V. Mr. Fessenden refers to a map of New England in Davissedition (1826) of Mortons Memorial as indicating that Sowams wasWarren. This map is a copy of one of the first maps made in NewEngland (1677), and is a cartographic curiosity. It locates Mount Hopenearly opposite Providence with a river east of Seacunck and MountHope, with two branches. The crown referred to, as denoting the resi-dence of the chief sachem and the location of the capital, is markedbetween the two rivers. If this map is of any value at all in locatingSowams, it stands in favor of New Meadow Neck, which lies betweenthe branches of the Sowams River. An exact copy of the map as relatedto this section of New England may be seen on one of the illustratedpages. 170 ° Zn^ 2,°w S 2 < 3 : o P a _o - rt-n -1 3 Po ™ 5 m* 3 ^ M ui o 3-5* 2 3 „-I v; re ui ^ 3 fB fC P S^3 ^ 3 p 3 n » S 3 M p S °m o 3 u, m p ^ S- ?
