2012 Map of Farallon Islands OE E

About this map

Southeast Farallon is the primary terrestrial landmark in this maritime quadrangle, situated within the vast expanse of the Pacific Ocean west of the California mainland. As part of a 2012 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey, the map depicts the isolated character of this offshore environment. The presence of this landmass indicates a critical navigational and biological point in the waters of San Francisco County, providing a specialized look at the region’s offshore geography during the early twenty-first century.
