Lunging Island and White Island emerge as rocky outposts in this maritime survey of the outer Shoals. Situated at the watery intersection of York County, Maine and Rockingham County, New Hampshire, the map documents the sparse, granite-bound topography of these islands before they transition into the depths of the Atlantic Ocean. The presence of White Island Ledge and Square Rock illustrates the hazardous underwater shelf that has historically challenged New England mariners. This 2015 data reflects the precise jurisdictional boundary lines that split the archipelago between two states, an enduring geographic curiosity for those studying the border history of the New Hampshire and Maine coastlines.
