Orcas Island's northern reaches and the smaller outcrops of Sucia Island are detailed here, centered on the central hub of Eastsound. The island's geography is defined by deep inlets like West Sound and Fishing Bay, which nearly bisect the landmass. This 2020 record captures a landscape where historical homesteading patterns persist alongside modern aviation at Orcas Island Airport and Crow Valley Airport. Genealogy interests are served by the location of Baker Cem and Woodlawn Cem, while the island's interior reveals prominent elevations such as Turtleback Mtn and Mt Woolard. The presence of Camp Orkila and the coastal resort area of Rosario indicate the long-standing recreational character of the archipelago. From the rocky height of Orcas Knob to the sands of Crescent Beach, the map traces a complex shoreline featuring numerous named points like Point Thompson and Madrona Point.
