2018 Map of Farallon Islands

About this map

Southeast Farallon and its companion islets rise from the Pacific Ocean in this 2018 survey, providing a detailed look at the landforms of the Farallon Islands. The map focuses on the rocky outcrops of the South Farallon group, where high points like Tower Hill and Main Top dominate the small landmasses. Maritime geography is well-documented, showing the relationship between Maintop Island and the primary island across the narrow channel known as The Jordan. This specific topographical record captures the exact shoreline and named features of this isolated wildlife refuge as they appeared in the early 21st century, including coastal landmarks such as Great West Arch, Arch Rock, and the sheltered waters of Maintop Bay.
