About this map

McNeil Island and its surrounding archipelago dominate this southern Puget Sound landscape, characterized by complex water-management systems and historical maritime connections. The island features several specialized water bodies, including Butterworth Reservoir, Eden Cr Reservoir, and the Prison Farm Sewage Lagoon, reflecting its long-standing history of institutional use. To the south, Anderson Island is more traditionally residential with established roads such as Yoman Rd and Otso Point Rd, supported by the Island Cem and a Post Office.

Maritime traffic is central to life here, with the McNeil Island Ferry and Steilacoom Ferry providing critical links across Balch Passage and Drayton Passage. These waterways separate the larger islands from smaller landmarks like Eagle Island and Gertrude Island. On the mainland's edge, military heritage is noted by the Fourth Infantry Bluff and Thirtieth Infantry Bluff overlooking Cormorant Passage, while the northern reaches include the community of Longbranch on the Key Peninsula.
