2023 Map of Shaw Island

About this map

San Juan Islands National Monument and the surrounding marine wilderness define this coastal landscape, which encompasses several major islands including Shaw Island and portions of Orcas and Lopez. The interior of Shaw Island is marked by a network of rural routes like Neck Point Rd and Rue Gilson, while the Shaw Island Cem serves as a central point for local history. Marine navigation is shaped by complex channels such as Cayou Channel and Wasp Passage, and the coastline is punctuated by features like Blind Island, Bell Island, and the peaks of Ben Nevis and Mt Woolard. On the eastern edge, Hummel Lake and the Windsock Airport sit near the settlement of Lopez, showing the continued integration of small-scale aviation into island life. This survey provides an exact record of the protected lands and small private holdings that characterize the San Juan archipelago in the early twenty-first century.
