About this map

Richardson stands as a focal point at the southern tip of Lopez Island, looking out over the Strait of Juan de Fuca and the Salish Sea. This coastal landscape is defined by its complex shoreline, where Mackaye Harbor and Davis Bay provide shelter against the more open waters of the Haro Strait. The interior of the island is crisscrossed by local roads like Center Rd and School Rd, supporting a rural community that maintains the Lopez Union Cem and the Lopez Island Airport.

Conservation areas and geological landmarks dominate the western portion of the sheet. The San Juan Island National Historical Park protects the high ground of Mt Finlayson and the iconic Cattle Point. Dozens of small islands and rocky outcrops, such as Whale Rocks and Iceberg Island, are managed as part of the San Juan Islands National Wildlife Refuge, highlighting the region's importance as a maritime sanctuary.
