About this map

Long Island Sound dominates this coastal landscape, where the maritime border between Connecticut and New York cuts across the southern waters. On the northern shore, residential enclaves like Saugatuck Shores, Owenoke, and Greens Farms represent the contemporary development of this high-value coastline. The map details a complex littoral zone of points and reefs, anchored by Sherwood Island and the sprawling sands of Compo Beach.

Navigational hazards and local landmarks are meticulously charted, from the scattered Norwalk Islands including Cockenoe Island and Goose Island to isolated features like Peck Ledge and Hanford Rock. The inland areas show a dense network of suburban transit, with Greens Farms Rd and Compo Pkwy serving established neighborhoods. This 2021 update captures the modern infrastructure and protected recreational spaces such as Fairfield Public Beach and Burial Hill Beach that define the modern Gold Coast shoreline.
