2012 Map of Sherwood Point

About this map

The Saugatuck River flows into the protected waters of Long Island Sound, defining a coastal landscape of peninsulas and offshore hazards. This 2012 survey documents the residential and recreational development around Saugatuck and Greens Farms, where modern road networks like Mayflower Pkwy and Greens Farms Rd weave between the shore and the rail corridor. The nautical character of the area is emphasized by the numerous named reefs and rocks, such as Hanford Rock and Haycock Rock, which surround Cockenoe Island. To the west, Peck Ledge Lighthouse stands as a vital navigational aid marking the entrance to the bay. Public access points and recreation areas are well-established, including Sherwood Island, Alvord Beach, and Burial Hill Beach, illustrating the shoreline's transition into a prime residential and leisure destination.
