This is correct, the island is part of NY, but the water is part of

Similar to how Delaware has the entire Delaware Bay in its
boundaries. They added some fill to the NJ side, and now there's a
piece of Delaware connected to New Jersey:

Might explain how OpenCycleMap is off in spots at z=9 with state names
at Pennsylvania/Maryland/Delaware (Delaware is a long way from
Cumberland). I'm not aware of the history or explanation of that, so
perhaps I could have better read up on bug reports, Andy (Allan).
I suspect that what's messing that up is the small spit of New Jersey
north and west of Oldmans Creek.

shows it in enough detail to show how lettering on the boundary would be
tricky to render.
