Montauk Point stands at the extreme eastern tip of Long Island, where the land meets the vast expanse of the Atlantic Ocean. This maritime-focused survey highlights the transition from the rocky shoreline of the South Fork to the hazardous underwater topography that has long challenged navigators. Coastal features like False Point and the small freshwater Money Pond are documented alongside significant undersea landmarks, including Endeavor Shoals, Phelps Ledge, and Great Eastern Rock. The map illustrates the region's continued reliance on maritime transit, specifically marking the route of the Block Island - Montauk Ferry. On land, the corridor of the Old Montauk Hwy provides the primary access to this iconic point, while the offshore Montauk Shoal indicates the shallow, shifting depths that define the waters surrounding the tip.
