2015 Map of San Clemente Island Central OE E

About this map

San Clemente Island rises steeply from the Pacific Ocean in this 2015 topographic study of the island's central coastline. The map focuses on the dramatic transition from the high interior terrain to the sea, where steep slopes and deeply incised canyons drop toward the water. A prominent coastal feature, White Rock, sits at the base of these cliffs, marking a distinct point along the shoreline. The island's isolation within Los Angeles County is underscored by the absence of roads or permanent settlements on this portion of the landmass, which is instead defined by its complex elevation contours and maritime boundary.
