About this map

Marrowstone Island and Indian Island dominate this coastal survey, separated from the mainland by the narrow Portage Canal. The settlement of Nordland serves as the central hub on Marrowstone, where local geography is defined by protected waters like Mystery Bay and Kilisut Harbor. The island's northern tip, Marrowstone Point, retains evidence of its strategic importance with an Anti-Aircraft Battery and several military-related labels such as Fire Control and E Searchlight.

To the west, the edge of Port Townsend is visible at Point Hudson, linked to the broader region by the Port Townsend Ferry route across Admiralty Inlet. The landscape transitions from the residential and maritime infrastructure of the islands to the elevated terrain of Jorgenson Hill. Genealogists may find interest in the Sound View Cem overlooking the eastern shoreline, while the presence of a Wilderness area and various camps highlights the island's mix of community and conservation.
