2011 Map of Mount Constitution

About this map

Mount Constitution towers over the eastern heart of Orcas Island, anchoring a landscape defined by dramatic elevation changes and freshwater lakes perched high above the Rosario Strait. The area around Rosario showcases a cluster of maritime and recreational infrastructure, including the Rosario Resort Marina and Rosario Seaplane Base on the shores of East Sound. The interior is heavily marked by a network of water management and natural falls, with the Boyd Lower Reservoir and Boyd Middle Reservoir systems situated south of Mountain Lake. Multiple cataracts like Cavern Falls and Rustic Falls emphasize the steep drainage patterns of Cascade Creek as it flows toward the sound. On the eastern coast, the settlement of Doe Bay and the nearby Olga-Doe Bay Cemetery provide significant points of interest for genealogists and local historians, while the offshore Peapod Rocks and Doe Island mark the transition into the deeper waters of the strait.
