About this map

West Haven and the borough of Woodmont dominate the coastline in this detailed 21st-century study of the New Haven harbor entrance. The map documents a densely developed suburban shoreline where residential neighborhoods like West Shore and Momauguin meet the waters of Long Island Sound. This coastal area is defined by its recreation and maritime heritage, featuring public access points at Prospect Beach, Oyster River Beach, and Savin Rock.

Navigational hazards and landmarks are intricately charted throughout the New Haven Harbor, including the New Haven Harbor Entrance Channel and the lighthouse at Lighthouse Point. The map provides specific detail for maritime researchers and local historians, identifying offshore features such as South West Ledge, The Chimneys, and Old Head Reef. Inland, the terrain rises toward Jones Hill, while the Oyster River forms a natural boundary between the coastal communities.
