2020 Map of Anacortes North

About this map

Anacortes anchors the southern edge of this maritime survey, where the Pacific NW National Scenic Trail winds through the city’s northeastern peninsula. The landscape is defined by the complex waterways of Bellingham Bay and Padilla Bay, connecting the mainland to a series of rugged islands. To the north, Guemes Island is accessible via the Guemes Island Ferry, supporting small settlements like Guemes and waterfront residential tracts along Holiday Blvd. The map captures the distinct character of Samish Island to the east, home to Samish Beach and Blue Heron Beach. This modern topographic study illustrates the persistence of coastal communities and the strategic importance of points like Cap Sante and March Point in the Skagit County sound. Smaller landmasses such as Saddlebag Island and Vendovi Island stand as prominent landmarks within the open waters of Samish Bay and Levant Passage.
