2015 Map of San Miguel Island East

About this map

San Miguel Island rises from the surrounding Pacific Ocean in this 2015 topographic study of the eastern portion of the landmass. Located within Channel Islands National Park, the island's eastern reaches are defined by a complex series of coastal contours that reveal the topography of its shoreline and interior ridges. This map specifically documents the boundary of Santa Barbara County as it extends into the waters of the Channel Islands archipelago. The lack of infrastructure or modern settlements on this portion of the island highlights its managed status as a federal wilderness area, where the primary features are the natural elevation changes and the marine interface of the California coast.
