About this map

The coastal neighborhood of Momauguin and its adjacent Momauguin Beach define the northwestern corner of this maritime study, where local streets like Cosey Beach Ave meet the shoreline. The map is primarily an aquatic record of Long Island Sound, detailing the numerous small islands and hazardous rock formations that dot the Connecticut coast. Significant landmarks include the evocative Money Island, Spectacle Island, and Horse Island, which were essential navigational points for vessels moving through these waters.

Further south, the Intracoastal Waterway cuts across the lower portion of the sheet, marking the interstate boundary between New Haven and Suffolk counties and the state line of Connecticut and New York. This map provides a detailed record of the jagged coastline between Mansfield Point and Linden Point, capturing the specific locations of named reefs and rocks such as Negros Head and Gangway Rock that dictate the maritime patterns of the region.
