2012 Map of San Miguel Island East

About this map

San Miguel Island anchors the western edge of the Channel Islands in this 2012 survey, revealing a landscape shaped by the unforgiving environment of the Pacific Ocean. This map focuses on the eastern reaches of the island, where the interior is sparsely marked, most notably by the Ranch House Flagpole, a rare sign of human presence in this protected area. The coastline is dense with hazards and geographic features, from the shelter of Cuyler Harbor to the numerous offshore formations like Prince Island, Middle Rock, and Bat Rock.
