About this map

Whidbey Island serves as the central landscape for this coastal survey, where the town of Oak Harbor sits between the sheltered waters of its namesake harbor and the open Strait of Juan de Fuca. The northern portion of the island is dominated by the sprawling Whidbey Island Naval Air Station at Ault Field Road, showing a landscape defined by military infrastructure and support facilities like the Sewage Disposal Ponds.

Further south, the growing residential and educational character of the island is evident through a dense network of schools including Oak Harbor High Sch and North Whidbey Jr HS. Local family names and agricultural roots are preserved in features like Hastie Lake, Zylstra Road, and the quiet Clover Valley. The map also documents community spaces such as Maple Leaf Cem and the Oak Harbor Air Park, alongside the recreational grounds of the local Golf Course.
