About this map

The coastal interface of Long Island Sound defines this 2015 survey, documenting the intricate shoreline between Saugatuck and Fairfield Beach. The map illustrates a highly developed residential and recreational landscape, where historic neighborhoods like Greens Farms and Compo meet the water at Sherwood Island and Alvord Beach. Inland, local landmarks such as Saint Marys Cem and Clapboard Hill sit among a dense network of suburban roads including Beachside Ave and Greens Farms Rd.

South of the mainland, the Norwalk Islands chain appears as a series of navigational hazards and natural features, most notably Cockenoe Island and its surrounding Cockenoe Reef. The nautical character is further emphasized by the inclusion of the Intracoastal Waterway and numerous named rocks and shoals like Dunder Rock and Georges Rock, marking the transition from protected coves like Cockenoe Bay to the open waters of the Long Island Sound.
