2021 Map of Bear Harbor OE W

About this map

The Pacific Ocean dominates this coastal survey, where the rugged edge of California meets the sea. In the extreme northeastern corner, the terrain rises sharply toward Chamisal Mtn, a prominent peak that anchors the coastline. This point of land, marked by the presence of Small White Rock just offshore, represents a primary intersection of maritime and terrestrial boundaries. The topographic lines trace steep elevations that define the region's character, illustrating the immediate transition from deep ocean to coastal highland. Surveyed by the U.S. Geological Survey, the map provides a precise record of the shoreline and elevation before reaching the interior wilderness.
