About this map

Falkner Island stands as a lonely outpost in the center of this maritime survey, surrounded by the Falkner Island Reef and various navigational hazards like North Rocks and Three Quarters Rock. The map illustrates the state boundary between Connecticut and New York, which runs through the open waters of Long Island Sound, separating New Haven and Suffolk Counties.

Along the northern edge, the residential area of Sachem Head is detailed with its network of coastal roads including Colonial Rd and Falcon Rd. This shoreline is defined by rocky points and small inlets, such as Uncas Point, Vineyard Point, and the evocatively named Bloody Cove. The presence of the Intracoastal Waterway and numerous named shoals, including Goose Rocks Shoals and Chimney Corner Reef, highlights the area's importance to maritime navigation and recreational boating.
