About this map

Anacortes and the surrounding island topography are intricately detailed in this 2017 survey, highlighting the complex coastline of Fidalgo and Whidbey Islands. The map documents the residential and industrial corridors south of the city, extending from the refineries at March Point down to the historic waterfront of La Conner. Cultural landmarks like the Rainbow Bridge and Pioneer Park anchor the southeastern corner, while the Swinomish Village reflects the long-standing indigenous presence along the Swinomish Channel.

The landscape is defined by its maritime connections, featuring numerous spits and islands such as Hope Island, Kiket Island, and Skagit Island. Long-distance recreational infrastructure is represented by the Pacific NW National Scenic Trail, which winds through the elevation of Hoypus Hill and across the southern reaches of Fidalgo Island. Smaller settlements like Dewey, Gibraltar, and Similk Beach are mapped alongside local genealogically significant sites including Grand View Cem and Fern Hill Cem.
