About this map

Long Island Sound dominates this maritime survey, illustrating the complex underwater topography and small islands along the northern shore of the sound. The coastline is marked by small residential pockets such as Momauguin Beach and Sunset Beach, accessed by local routes like Coe Ave and Cosey Beach Ave. The map provides a detailed view of coastal navigation hazards and landmarks, from the expansive Branford Reef to isolated outcrops like Moon Rock and Negro Heads.

A clear state boundary between Connecticut and New York and a county line between New Haven and Suffolk counties run through the southern portion of the sheet. This boundary follows the path of the Intracoastal Waterway, a critical transit corridor through the sound. Mariners and researchers can identify numerous named geological features, including Spectacle Island, Townshend Ledge, and Red Point Rocks, which define the character of this aquatic landscape.
