Description
This is a 1988 Sharon Schumacher pictorial map of the San Juan Islands, Washington. The San Juan Islands are an enchanting archipelago of some 400 islands nestled between the mainland and Vancouver Island, British Columbia.
A Closer Look
The map focuses on the larger San Juan Islands: Orcas, San Juan, Lopez, and Fidalgo, as well as multiple smaller islands. Businesses are illustrated, including gift shops, boutiques, restaurants, marinas, hotels, and a pharmacy. Signs mark state parks and the two San Juan National Historic Parks. The Park commemorates the 1859 Pig War, when American and Canadian settlers on the San Juans nearly ignited a war between the United States and Britain over a dead pig. The islands are especially known for their year-round Orca population.Publication History and Census
