2013 Map of Galloo Island

About this map

Galloo Island Lighthouse stands as a solitary sentinel on the southwestern edge of the Galloo Islands, marking a strategic point within the eastern waters of Lake Ontario. This 2013 survey illustrates the isolated nature of these landmasses, located miles from the New York mainland. The larger island is accompanied by the smaller, distinct Little Galloo Island to the southeast. The map reveals the stark relationship between the low-lying topography of these islands and the surrounding expanse of the Great Lake, showing no significant permanent settlements but preserving the location of the historic navigational aid. For researchers, it documents the precise coastline and landmark positions in the early 21st century.
