Dixon Entrance

Looking northwest across Dixon Entrance from Baron Island
The Dixon Entrance as delineated by BC Geographical Names and the disputed "A–B Line", along with Hecate Strait and Queen Charlotte Sound.[1] Red dots indicate capes and points, gray text indicates island names. The international boundary between Canada and the United States follows Portland Canal to "Point B", thence, according to Canada, to Cape Muzon. The purpose and significance of the "A–B Line" portion of the boundary are disputed.

The Dixon Entrance (French: Entrée Dixon) is a strait about 80 kilometers (50 mi) long and wide in the Pacific Ocean at the Canada–United States border, between the U.S. state of Alaska and the province of British Columbia in Canada. The Dixon Entrance is part of the Inside Passage shipping route. It forms part of the maritime boundary between the U.S. and Canada, although the location of that boundary here is disputed.
