2018 Map of Anacapa Island

About this map

Anacapa Island sits within the protected boundaries of Channel Islands National Park, appearing here as a series of narrow, high ridges surrounded by the Pacific Ocean. This coastal landscape is dominated by notable topographical high points such as Camel Peak and the nearby landmark of Cat Rock at the water's edge. The map also delineates the offshore administrative boundary between Santa Barbara and Ventura counties, which bisects the open water to the west and north of the island chain. The survey highlights the isolation and preservation of this archipelago, showing it as it appeared in the late 2010s before any major natural shifts or modern management changes.
