Graham or Pilling Island

[Drogo]

When they took down the bay towers in ca 1962 the base of it that is at the very north end, in the corner by Indian Point was either named Graham's or Pilling Island. It was on maps even. I am looking for a map that has it written on it. Any help please.

I gravel "island" is still there but they took the name of the newer maps.

The Port removed the most northerly island a couple years ago, but they called it Farr Island.

I have to look around here because I think it was on an old Rand McNally map. I'm sure the one still there was the Island I'm referring to.

I haven't gotten to knitting maps together yet but they look great.

If it is the same island (most northerly), why would it be changed to Farr?

I thought I had changed my camera setting to the highest res. but it stayed in the mid range. That happens when the buttons get switch around.
So the maps aren't as big as I hoped.

Just me and how I explained it. If you look at the bay today it is the most northerly. You said they took the most northerly out but I'm referring to what you see today. I don't know why I do that because I'm one of the worst for talking in two centuries at the same time. LOL

A few pictures of Pilling Island, it is a man made island (bottom in first pic) once used as a base for a hydro tower and Santa stays there for the summer.

A couple from 2013.

Fantastic but what tells you that island is Pilling Island?

It's Santa's summer island, I was going by your quotes but a look on a map from the Port (which I believe belongs to Google) shows the most northerly island to be Neare Island.

Just to add, the island the Port removed was Farr Island, so far and near? Must of been a Grade 1 contest to name them.
