2017 Map of Shaw Island

About this map

Orcas, Shaw Island, and Lopez serve as the primary hubs for this island-dense portion of the San Juan archipelago. The map illustrates a complex network of maritime transit, including the Anacortes - Orcas Island Ferry and the Lopez Island - Shaw Island routes that weave through Harney Channel and Upright Channel. This modern topographical study captures the unique aviation infrastructure of the islands, from the Clam Harbor Airport on Orcas to the Wilding Farm Airport on Shaw and the Windsock Airport on Lopez. Inland, the landscape is punctuated by freshwater bodies like Killebrew Lake and Hummel Lake, while the coastline is defined by protected anchorages such as Grindstone Harbor and Fisherman Bay. Higher elevations at Mt Woolard and Diamond Hill provide a vertical contrast to the low-lying points and reefs like Minnesota Reef and Reid Rock.
