2017 Map of Vashon

About this map

Vashon and its surrounding island communities are intricately detailed in this 2017 survey, showing the residential and agricultural layout of this prominent Puget Sound landmark. The map traces the island's unique geography, from the northern reach of Cowley down to the narrow connection at Portage that joins the main island to Maury Island. Long-established settlements such as Burton, Ellisport, and Chautauqua are visible along the eastern shoreline, while the western side faces the Colvos Passage. Small-scale aviation and local infrastructure are represented by the Vashon Municipal Airport and Wax Orchards Airport. Interior water features like Judd Creek and Frenchmans Pond provide insight into the island's drainage patterns, while coastal labels like Magnolia Beach and Mileta pinpoint historic waterfront neighborhoods. The dense network of island roads, such as Vashon Heights Road, illustrates the modern connectivity of these isolated landmasses.
