2017 Map of Point Roberts

About this map

Point Roberts occupies a unique geographic position as an American exclave, separated from the mainland United States by the Canadian border and surrounded on three sides by water. This coastal landscape is defined by its maritime boundaries, with Boundary Bay to the east and the Strait of Georgia to the west, eventually opening into the broader reaches of Puget Sound. The residential and recreational character of the peninsula is evident in the network of local roads serving the community, including Johnson Rd and Tyee Dr, leading toward the southern coast at South Beach. A notable landmark for this small community is the Point Roberts Airpark, situated near the western shore. The map clearly illustrates the international line at Boundary Bluff, where the 49th parallel separates Whatcom County from British Columbia, creating a distinct pocket of American settlement accessible by land only through Canada.
