2020 Map of Sucia Island

About this map

Patos Island and the Sucia Islands archipelago anchor this 2020 topographic survey of the northernmost San Juan Islands. Situated where the Strait of Georgia meets Boundary Pass, these landmasses define a complex maritime environment. Sucia Island itself is characterized by its distinctive finger-like peninsulas, creating protected waters such as Echo Bay, Shallow Bay, and Fox Cove. To the northwest, Patos Island stands solitary with Alden Point and Toe Point marking its extremities. The map reveals the intricate coastline of smaller outcrops, including Justice Island, Harnden Island, and the Cluster Islands. The boundary between Whatcom County and San Juan County bisects the open waters of the Salish Sea, illustrating the administrative division of this northern Washington frontier.
