1943 Map of San Clemente Island Central

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Seal Cove and the jagged western coastline of San Clemente Island dominate this wartime topographic study. Compiled from aerial photographs taken in 1943, the map reveals a landscape defined by dramatic elevation changes and a series of prominent coastal features including Eel Point and Mail Point. The interior is marked by a network of unimproved roads and trails that traverse the steep terrain, reaching landmarks such as Tomb and the heights above Black Point 2. Unlike the more developed mainland, the island's central region appears largely dedicated to military or navigational purposes during the mid-twentieth century, with specialized survey points such as Lost Point and the Bluff anchoring the rugged shoreline.
