About this map

Ventura marks the northeastern corner of this coastal study, where the urban edge meets the expansive Pacific Ocean. This survey focuses primarily on the offshore environment and the immediate shoreline south of the city, highlighting the transition from developed residential and commercial corridors like E Harbor Blvd to the natural coastal features of the Ventura County coastline.

The presence of South Jetty Beach and McGrath Lake indicates a landscape shaped by coastal processes and industrial infrastructure. The lake sits just inland from the dunes, separated from the sea by a narrow strip of land, while the layout of streets like Spinnaker Dr and Navigator Dr reflects the maritime-oriented development of the region. This document serves as a record of the shoreline's configuration before significant environmental shifts or modern coastal management projects altered the interface between the city and the sea.
