About this map

Orcas Island is defined here by the deep inlets of East Sound and West Sound, which nearly bisect the landmass. The village of Eastsound sits at the head of its namesake bay, serving as a central hub where the Horseshoe Highway meets the Orcas Island Airport. The landscape transitions from the residential and resort areas around Rosario and Beach Haven to the steep, wooded slopes of Turtleback Mountain and Mt Woolard.

Local history is anchored by landmarks such as the Crow Valley School Museum and the Woodlawn Cem, reflecting the early community development of the San Juan Islands. Industrial activity is noted through several Quarry and Gravel Pit locations, while conservation efforts are evident at Sucia Island State Park and the San Juan Islands National Wildlife Refuge, protecting the diverse shoreline from President Channel to the quiet waters of Massacre Bay.
