About this map

The unique exclave of Point Roberts is defined by its isolation from the rest of Washington, separated from the mainland by the Canada-United States border. This 1952 edition, revised in 1994, illustrates the settlement patterns of this peninsula, from the established community at Maple Beach to the shoreline developments along South Beach. The map highlights the essential infrastructure of a border town, including the U S Customs station and the Landing Strip.

Coastal features like Boundary Bluff and Lighthouse Park emphasize the peninsula's maritime orientation between the Strait of Georgia and Boundary Bay. Notable local landmarks such as Baker Community Field, the Radio Tower, and Roosevelt Park provide a detailed look at the civic and recreational layout of the area. Interior roads like Tyee Drive and Gulf Road connect the residential clusters and the Gravel Pit, reflecting the localized economy and transport network of this distinct geographic pocket.
