2011 Map of Eastsound

About this map

Orcas Island's northern reaches are detailed here, centered on the community of Eastsound, where the shoreline of Fishing Bay meets Ship Bay. The landscape transitions from the residential and commercial hub near the Eastsound Post Office and Orcas Island Airport to the steep, wooded slopes of Turtleback Mountain and Ship Peak to the west. Evidence of local industry and recreation is peppered throughout the terrain, from the Dolphin Bay Quarry and Sea Island Shale Pit to the Orcas Island Golf Course and Camp Orkila. The coast is defined by numerous points and beaches, including Crescent Beach and Point Doughty, while inland water bodies like Schaefer Lake and Tourtleback Lake are managed by small dams. The map also records the rural character of Crow Valley and the historical presence of Woodlawn Cemetery.
