2019 Map of Plum Island OE E
USGS Topo · Published 2019About this map
Great Gull Island and Little Gull Island anchor this nautical survey of the eastern reach of Long Island Sound, marking a critical maritime gateway. This area is dominated by The Race, a powerful tidal channel where the sound meets the Atlantic, shaped by underwater features such as Valiant Rock and Race Point Ledge. Navigational hazards are clearly marked, including the prominent Race Rock and the outlying Constellation Rock to the southwest. The presence of the Intracoastal Waterway through these waters underscores the region's enduring importance as a coastal transit corridor. While primarily an aquatic record, the map captures the isolation of these rocky outposts and the submerged Little Gull Reef that have challenged mariners for generations.
