About this map

The rocky southeastern extremity of San Clemente Island marks the edge of this maritime survey, where the land meets the vast Pacific Ocean. This coastal corner is defined by distinctive geologic formations, including the prominent projection of Pyramid Head and the nearby coastal landmark at Sun Point. The terrain here rises sharply from the sea, showing steep contours that lead toward the island's interior elevations.

Positioned along the rugged shoreline, Balanced Rock serves as a specific navigational and geographical marker for this corner of Los Angeles County. The map captures the isolated character of these coastal points in the early 2020s, highlighting the precise interface between the island's topography and the surrounding marine environment, a landscape defined by its wind-swept points and clear, surveyed boundaries.
