1973 Map of Anacortes North

USGS Topo · Published 1995

About this map

Anacortes and the surrounding islands of the San Juan archipelago are shown here during a period of transition in the late 20th century. The northern waterfront of Fidalgo Island is detailed with industrial and maritime features, including a Drydock and the W T Preston Museum at Cap Sante. The map records the residential growth of the city through features like the Island View Sch and the local High Sch, while also documenting the more rural character of Guemes Island to the north. Extensive tidal flats and mud reaches are visible throughout Padilla Bay and Samish Bay, surrounding smaller landmasses like Hat Island and Huckleberry Island. Navigational aids, such as the Vendovi East Light and March Point Light, trace the vital shipping lanes through the Guemes Channel and into Bellingham Bay.
