The left side of the photo shows 71 acres on the south end of Indian Neck owned by the State Fish and Game Department and Field Point owned by the Trust.   Fox Island is clearly shown in the center of Fox Island Marsh.  On the right is Whale Bone Point and the upland known as Pilgrim Springs Woodlands.WhaleBonePointbyTConnell.jpg
