The Salish Sea dominates this hydrographic survey, representing the expansive marine corridor that connects the northwestern Washington coast with British Columbia. This particular sheet captures the watery threshold where the Strait of Georgia meets the northern reaches of the Salish Sea, highlighting the international maritime boundary lines that traverse these cold, deep waters. The map focuses on the liquid geography of Boundary Bay and Semiahmoo Bay, providing a clear record of the coastal indentation before the landmass begins. It serves as a specialized reference for the intricate marine relationships in Whatcom County, emphasizing the open water and navigational paths rather than terrestrial landmarks or human settlements.
