Just considering island properties alone I would say there must be upwards of two thousand without touching the mainland. Just look at Rattlesnake and bear alone, there are probably a few hundred on these two islands alone. I would think that Rocky's formula would be a closer figure than two thousand, it may even be on the light side..
