About this map

Eliza Island sits at the heart of this maritime survey, surrounded by the waters of Bellingham Bay and Hale Passage. The map highlights the intersection of natural conservation and modern development, featuring the San Juan Islands National Monument alongside the small Eliza Island Airport. On the eastern shore, the residential growth of South Bellingham and Edgemoor is clearly defined, with a dense network of local roads such as Fieldston Rd and Bayside Rd reaching toward the coast.

The archipelago character of the region is evident in the presence of Portage Island, connected by the shallow Portage Channel, and the southern tip of Lummi Island at Reil Harbor. This coastal landscape is marked by significant points of navigation and industrial history, from the Whatcom Creek Waterway in the north to the protected wildlife areas of the San Juan Islands National Wildlife Refuge in the south.
