Coordinate error
The following coordinate fixes are needed for Split Rock, which is here:

40.88648°N, -73.81492°W

This matches up on all mapping services I can find to fit the article's description of where this feature actually is (and this PDF). The current location in the article is showing "73° 49′ 1.63″ W", which puts it on the wrong side of both highways.

THAT SAID, this isn't a big difference, and the coordinate I'm giving is correct on the map services, but maybe wouldn't match a GPS? I only live four miles from here, but most of getting to this location to check in-person is a lot of walking. In any case, it seems better to have this look right on the map view, than to have it be right on a GPS. Anyway, I'm not a super experienced editor, and I don't want to just assume my correction is the right thing to do because it feels right to me.

 * ✅. Thanks for pointing out the error; no need to be diffident about it. Deor (talk) 17:00, 24 September 2021 (UTC)

Tallapoosa Point
To my knowledge, Tallapoosa Point was used for dumping well into the late seventies. I know it for a fact. Parks Department was using it to dump Orchard Beach trash there at least as late as ’78 or ’79. It was in full operation until then. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.190.233.44 (talk) 06:34, 4 June 2022 (UTC)
