Smith Island (British Columbia)

Mount McGrath, facing Chatham Sound is a notable feature of the east side of the island.^[2]

Tsum Tsadai Inlet is a narrow inlet on the north side of the island, with its opening to the west.^[3] The inlet provides a well protected anchorage for small craft, but should be approached with caution at slack tide, as a group of drying reefs surround the approach, and tidal currents upwards of 5 knots (9.3 km/h; 5.8 mph) are known at the entrance.^[4]

To the south of the island is Marcus Passage. To the north is Inverness Passage, separating Smith Island from the Tsimpsean Peninsula.^[5] Eleanor Passage, connects Osborn Point, the most eastern point on the island, with the mouth of the Skeena River.^[6] De Horsey Passage separates De Horsey Island from Smith Island on the latter's east side.^[7] Croasdaile Island is to the south of the southern tip of Smith Island.^[8]

Dashken Indian Reserve No. 22 is on the east side of Smith Island, facing De Horsey Island which is to the east.^[9] South of the reserve, also facing De Horsey Island, is the ruins of the former post office and wharf of Osland.^[10] Hazel Point marks the southern tip of the island,^[11] just east of the point is a bay that is site of the former cannery and settlement of Oceanic.^[4][12]
