I have read with much attention the question about the NY/NJ territorial division of the 1998 and I have noted a wrong map on this page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellis_Island#/media/File:EllisIslandMapOSM.png) In this map the dotted boundaries of the NY enclave in the NJ State are wrong. It IGNORES that the two states jointly negotiated a post-trial settlement for minor changes in 1999 to decide exactly where and how to draw the lines in accordance with the Supreme Court decision.
The EXACT and FINAL map is the FIGURE 10 in this document (https://web.archive.org/web/20141018003341/http://proceedings.esri.com/library/userconf/proc99/proceed/papers/pap138/p138.htm) In fact in 1999 the United States Supreme Court accepted the final map and New York was granted jurisdiction to 4.68 acres. This area includes almost all of the Main Immigration Building as well as portions of the Wall of Honor, baggage handling/dormitory building, power house and administration building (Figure 10). The New York portion of Ellis Island is landlocked, enclaved within New Jersey's territory. New Jersey has sovereign authority over the remaining 22.80 acres of the island that includes portions of the above buildings, the ferry house, and all of the 29 hospital and dormitory buildings located on the southern portion of the island.
I think that it is necessary TO REPLACE the wrong map with 1 between these 2 exact maps in this beautiful and detailed page of Wiki! Thanks for the possible correction. 03:04, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
This is the exact map of the NYC enclave in Ellis Island
