capes of the state, such positions being taken from the publications of the U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey, except for those marked (a) which are scaled from reliable maps, and are approximate. The positions marked (lt) are for the light houses on the capes, and all others are for some important triangulation point on the cape, though not necessarily in the exact center, or on its most westerly point.
