About this map

Central Whidbey Island is defined by its deep coastal indentations and maritime infrastructure in this late-twentieth-century study. The landscape is anchored by significant military and conservation tracts, notably the Lake Hancock Target Range and the Naval Reservation Bdy surrounding Lake Hancock. Residential pockets like Greenbank and Baby Island Heights contrast with the largely rural and wooded interior, while a Cem and Windmill offer points of interest for local history researchers.

The shoreline is the primary focus of development, from the Lighthouse at Bush Point to the sheltered waters of Honeymoon Bay and Holmes Harbor. Small-scale industrial activity is evidenced by a Quarry and Gravel Pit, providing a glimpse into the local materials economy. Much of the western coast is preserved within South Whidbey State Park, maintaining the natural character of the Puget Sound Admiralty Inlet shoreline.
