About this map

Anacortes anchors the southern portion of this chart, where the city grid meets the deep waters of the Guemes Channel and Cap Sante Waterway. The landscape is defined by the complex coastline of the San Juan Islands, including the residential clusters on Guemes Island and the hook of Samish Island reaching into Samish Bay. The maritime character of the region is evident in the numerous protected coves like Deadman Bay and Cooks Cove, alongside the vital transit link provided by the Guemes Island Ferry.

Beyond the primary settlements, smaller landmasses such as Saddlebag Island, Dot Island, and Hat Island dot the northern reaches of Padilla Bay. Local landmarks like Cap Sante and William Point mark significant navigation points. The map details a transition from the urban streets of the mainland to the winding coastal roads like Seaway Dr and S Shore Rd, reflecting the area's development as both a hub for shipping and a destination for island living.
