2012 Map of San Clemente Island South

About this map

San Clemente Island is the southern focus of this 2012 survey, part of the Channel Islands archipelago off the California coast. The map illustrates a landscape defined by its coastal landforms and water bodies, including Mosquito Cove and Pyramid Cove along the eastern shoreline. The terrain is marked by significant geographic points such as Lost Point on the west and China Point at the island's southern extremity. A network of unimproved roads and trails winds through the interior, suggesting a landscape primarily used for navigation or resource management rather than dense settlement. The surrounding Pacific Ocean is detailed with soundings and nautical markers, reflecting the island's isolation and its continued importance as a maritime landmark. Notable features like Cove Point provide specific orientation for those studying the island's unique topography and coastal character in the early twenty-first century.
