1978 Map of Lummi Island

About this map

Lummi Island and its surrounding archipelago define this maritime landscape in Whatcom County, where the island's interior rises sharply to Lummi Peak and Richards Mtn. In the late 1970s, the northern lowlands and coastal fringes reveal a established network of roads like West Shore Drive and Nugent Road, supporting localized settlements and retreats such as Loganita Lodge, The Willows, and the community of Lummi Island. The map details the delicate coastal geography of the Strait of Georgia and Hale Passage, including the tidal connection known as The Portage leading to Portage Island. Shoreline industry and navigation are visible through features like the Quarry near Smugglers Cove, a Borrow Pit on the mainland, and several lights marking points like Village Point and Lummi Rocks. This coastal survey documents the intersection of recreational space at Lummi Marine Park and the protected environment of the San Juan Islands National Wildlife Refuge.
