The Cartography blog discuss and links a Globe and Mail article on seabed mapping near New York. From the blog: "[...] efforts to map a portion of the Atlantic Ocean floor off the coast of New York, specifically, what is called the Husdon Canyon. Using a multi-beamed sonar system, staff with the USGS mapped a 160 kilometre by 100 kilometre portion of the seabed at a scale of 1:300,000."
