Puget Sound dominates this nautical-focused survey, showcasing the maritime boundary between Whatcom Co and San Juan Co. The map focuses primarily on the open waters of the sound, highlighting the underwater topography of Alden Bank in the central portion of the quadrangle. Along the northeastern edge, the shoreline of Birch Bay becomes visible, marking a transition from the deep sound to the sheltered coastal waters of the mainland. This perspective emphasizes the importance of bathymetric features and political maritime borders in the Salish Sea, providing a clear record of how county jurisdictions extend into the sea.
