About this map

Puget Sound serves as the central thoroughfare in this detailed 2014 survey, illustrating the vital maritime connections between Seattle, Bainbridge Island, and Vashon Island. The map meticulously charts the ferry routes and transit lines that define the region's movement, specifically the paths between Southworth Ferry Landing, Fauntleroy Ferry Landing, and Vashon Ferry Landing. On the eastern shore, the residential fabric of West Seattle and Arroyo Heights is shown in detail, including landmarks like the Schmitz Memorial Overlook and Seacrest Marina at Duwamish Head.

The Western side of the sound highlights more secluded coastal settlements and geographical features. From the northern tip of Vashon Heights to the historic Restoration Point on Bainbridge Island, the map captures the transition from urban density to island communities. Small enclaves like Tillicum Village on Blake Island and the residential layout of Arbor Heights provide a clear view of how topography and water access have shaped the growth of these sound-side neighborhoods.
