About this map

Whidbey Island dominates this 2014 survey, showcasing the southern tip of the island where the land meets the Puget Sound. The landscape is defined by its dramatic coastal geography, from the broad sweep of Useless Bay in the northwest to the protected waters of Cultus Bay in the southeast. Small residential clusters and settlements such as Maxwelton, Sunlight Beach, and Possession are connected by a network of local roads like Maxwelton Rd and Cultus Bay Rd, reflecting the area's transition into a more developed coastal community.

Prominent geographical landmarks provide significant orientation for maritime and local history, including the sharp profiles of Scatchet Head and Possession Point. Inland, the terrain is dotted with small bodies of water like Deer Lake and Miller Lake, while the intersection at Midvale Corner serves as a key local waypoint. The boundary between Island Co and Kitsap Co is marked in the open water, emphasizing the island's strategic position within the sound.
