Orcas Island rises sharply from the Rosario Strait in this detailed look at the northeastern San Juan Islands. The landscape is dominated by the height of Mt Constitution and Mt Pickett, with deep freshwater bodies like Mountain Lake and Cascade Lake tucked into the high elevations. The coastal character of the island is defined by small settlements and landings, including Buckhorn on the north shore and Doe Bay to the southeast. Genealogists will find the Olga Doe Bay Cem situated near the south shore, while the map also captures numerous offshore landforms within the San Juan Islands National Wildlife Refuge, such as Puffin Island and The Sisters. Local naming conventions are evident in features like Chin-Chin-Tse-Tung and Kangaroo Point, reflecting the unique cultural and natural history of this maritime environment.
