About this map

Shaw Island and the surrounding reaches of the San Juan Islands are defined by a complex maritime geography of ferry landings, secluded coves, and rugged island interiors. This 2014 survey details the vital transportation links that sustain these communities, including the Shaw Ferry Landing and the Lopez Ferry Landing, which facilitate travel across the Harney Channel and Upright Channel. The map documents a landscape where traditional coastal settlements like Lopez Village and Orcas coexist with specialized infrastructure such as Wilding Farm Airport and Windsock Airport.

From the heights of Mt Woolard and Ben Nevis to the protected waters of Blind Bay and Fisherman Bay, the map traces the intersection of local recreation and commerce. Marinas such as the Shipyard Cove Marina and Killebrew Marina dot the shoreline, while the Shaw Island County Park Campground and Odlin County Park Campground highlight the importance of the islands' protected natural spaces within Puget Sound.
