About this map

Stuart Island and the surrounding northern reaches of the San Juan Islands are defined by a complex maritime geography where the United States and Canada maritime border cuts through Haro Strait and Puget Sound. The settlement of Prevost serves as a central hub on Stuart Island, connected by a network of local thoroughfares like Prevost Harbor Rd and Cemetery Rd. The island’s high points, including Lundberg Mtn and Tiptop Hill, offer vantage points over Prevost Harbor and Reid Harbor.

Transport is primarily water-based and aerial, evidenced by the Anacortes - Sidney Ferry route and the presence of the Stuart Island West Airport and Stuart Island Airpark. The map captures the isolated character of neighboring landmasses such as Johns Island, Gossip Island, and Spieden Island, the latter featuring the prominent Spieden Bluff. This survey provides a clear view of the navigational hazards and landmarks of the San Juan archipelago, from Sentinel Rock to the distinctively named Cemetery Island.
