About this map

Stuart Island and its surrounding archipelago define this maritime boundary where the United States and Canada border bisects the waters of Haro Strait. The settlement of Prevost serves as a small hub on the island, situated near the navigationally significant Turn Point Lighthouse. The terrain is marked by prominent elevations such as Lundberg Mountain, Lofgren Mountain, and Mount Stuart, while the coastline is indented by protected anchorages like Reid Harbor.

South and east of the main island, a network of smaller landmasses and hazards including Johns Island, Satellite Island, and Spieden Island line the waterways. Navigational markers and geological features like Danger Shoal, Sentinel Rock, and Gull Reef highlight the complex maritime environment of the New Channel and Speiden Channel. The map also captures the FRIDAY HARBOR-SIDNEY route, a vital connection across the international boundary between these island communities.
