About this map

Whidbey Island terrain is defined by its sweeping shorelines and coastal inlets, ranging from the broad reaches of Useless Bay to the protected waters of Cultus Bay. The southern tip of the island is anchored by Scatchet Head and Possession Point, with the small community of Possession overlooking the sound. Inland, the landscape is dotted with bodies of water like Deer Lagoon, Miller Lake, and Deer Lake, illustrating the post-glacial topography of the region.

Residential developments and local history are centered around established nodes such as Maxwelton, Sunlight Beach, and Midvale Corner. A dense network of local roads, including Maxwelton Rd and Langley Rd, connects these settlements across the undulating hills. This 2017 survey shows the enduring maritime and rural character of the southern island, where coastal points like Indian Point and various land-use boundaries like t28n r3e mark the historic property divisions of the area.
