About this map

Tulalip Indian Reservation lands dominate this coastal Snohomish County landscape, where the waters of Port Susan meet Possession Sound. The shoreline is dotted with small settlements and beach communities including Tulalip Shores, Tulare Beach, and Sunny Shores, reflecting the mid-century growth of waterfront residential enclaves. At the heart of the reservation, the community of Tulalip sits at the head of Tulalip Bay, supported by local infrastructure like the nearby Cem and multiple small Reservoirs.

Inland, the terrain is characterized by a series of glacial lakes such as Mary Shelton Lake, Weallup Lake, and Lake Agnes. To the west, the southern tip of Camano Island terminates at Camano Head, while Gedney Island sits isolated to the south, featuring its own Golf Course and Gravel Pit. The map captures a coastal economy in transition, marked by Docks, a Bulkhead, and the winding Fire Trail cutting through the forested uplands.
