2011 Map of Galloo Island

USGS Topo · Published 2011

About this map

Galloo Island Lighthouse stands as a prominent sentinel on the southern tip of the Galloo Islands, marking a critical navigation point within the eastern waters of Lake Ontario. This 2011 survey illustrates the isolated geography of the archipelago, including the smaller Little Galloo Island and the protective indentations of Gill Harbor and North Pond. The map reveals the underwater topography surrounding these landmasses, such as the Galloo Shoal and the depths of Galloo Basin, which have historically dictated maritime traffic patterns in this section of Jefferson County. The relationship between the lighthouse and the natural harbors suggests a landscape defined by seasonal maritime utility and the long-standing navigational requirements of the Great Lakes.
