1943 Map of San Clemente Island Central

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

San Clemente Island appears here as a specialized military landscape, dominated by the Naval Ocean Systems Center Facility. Based on aerial photographs originally taken in 1943 and updated with 1977 data, the map details the rugged coastal topography of this offshore territory in the Pacific Ocean. The island's strategic utility is evident in the presence of a Landing Strip near the northern shore, while its natural coastline is punctuated by distinct geographical markers such as Black Point, Eel Point, and Seal Cove. The dense contour lines reveal the steep, ridged interior that separates these coastal points, illustrating the geographic isolation and specialized infrastructure that defined the island's mid-to-late 20th-century role. This survey provides a precise record of how military operations integrated with the island's natural features, from Mail Point down to Lost Point.
