About this map

Long Island Sound dominates this coastal perspective, where the maritime border between New Haven County, Connecticut and Suffolk County, New York bisects the open water. The northern edge of the map captures the transition from land to sea at Sachem Head, a prominent rocky point flanked by Bloody Cove and Uncas Point. This shoreline is characterized by a complex network of maritime hazards and landmarks, including Goose Rocks Shoals, Chimney Corner Reef, and Jefferson Rock.

Further offshore, the isolated Falkner Island and its surrounding Falkner Island Reef serve as a critical navigation marker within the sound. Smaller landmasses such as Goose Island and Marine Island dot the nearshore waters, while the deep-water path of the Intracoastal Waterway cuts across the southern portion of the quadrangle. The map documents the precise placement of these rocky features and islands as they appeared in 2018, providing an essential record for mariners and coastal historians.
