About this map

Gardiners Island dominates this coastal landscape, showing a complex arrangement of interior water bodies and significant topographical features. The island's geography includes the prominent Whale Hill and several isolated basins such as Home Pond, Great Pond, and Airport Pond. The presence of the Gardiners Island Cem near the western shore provides a historical anchor to the private estate's long-standing lineage.

South of the main island, the shifting sands of the Atlantic coast are evident in the formation of Cartwright Shoals and Cartwright Island. On the mainland of Long Island, the small settlements of Lazy Point and Cherry Point sit near the entrance to Napeague Harbor, bordered by the rising terrain of Hither Hills. This coastal survey documents the fragile boundary between the protected waters of Gardiners Bay and the open Block Island Sound.
