2023 Map of Anacortes South

About this map

Fidalgo Island dominates this coastal landscape where the waters of Padilla Bay, Skagit Bay, and Fidalgo Bay meet. The geography is defined by a complex network of points, spits, and channels, including the narrow Swinomish Channel separating the island from the mainland near La Conner. This coastal corridor features long-established communities like Swinomish Village and the industrial infrastructure at March Point, specifically along Oil King Aly. To the south, the dramatic crossing at Deception Pass connects the area to Whidbey Island. Significant local history and genealogy sites are present, including Swinomish Cem, Grand View Cem, and Fern Hill Cem. The terrain rises from sea-level spits like Weaverling Spit to landmarks such as Mt Erie and Sugarloaf, while recreational trails like the Pacific Northwest National Scenic Trail wind through the hills.
