Point Roberts, WA.
As most people know, the main border between Canada and the US is the 49th parallel. This probably seems sensible, except it caused one small town in the north-west to be isolated from the rest of WA and the country.
Point Roberts is located on a peninsula south of Delta, BC. As it is just a spit of land, residents have to cross the border just to go shopping for anything other than basic groceries or cross it twice to get to Blaine, WA which is 25 miles away.
Presumably this is why it is not available on google's streetview!
