Point Roberts and the community at Maple Beach occupy a unique geographic position where the international border separates this small peninsula from the rest of Whatcom County. This 2017 survey illustrates the precise boundary between Canada and the United States, highlighting the residential road networks of Churchill Dr and Cliff Rd as they terminate near the shoreline. The surrounding waters of Puget Sound define the isolation of this American exclave, showing the limited land access and the coastal character of the area just before it meets British Columbia. Local geography is dominated by this political anomaly, making it a distinct study in borderland settlement and maritime topography.
