About this map

Burrows Island Lighthouse stands as a sentinel over Rosario Strait and Allan Pass, marking a maritime landscape where Fidalgo Island meets the complex currents of the Salish Sea. This early 21st-century study reveals a coastline defined by rocky headlands like Biz Point and Sares Head, while the interior of Fidalgo Island shows the industrial footprints of the Anacortes Quarry and the Lake Erie Pit. The southern portion of the sheet is anchored by the engineering of the Deception Pass Bridge, connecting to Whidbey Island across Canoe Pass and the famous narrows. To the north, the growth of Anacortes is evident near Anaco Beach and the Skyline Seaplane Base, illustrating the area's transition from traditional resource extraction and lighthouse service to a hub for aviation and recreation near Deception Pass State Park Marina.
