1950 Map of San Miguel Island East

USGS Topo · Published 1950

About this map

Cuyler Harbor dominates the northern coast of this island landscape, protected by the offshore presence of Prince Island and Kid Rock. This 1950 edition, based on aerial surveys from just after the war, reveals a land of isolation and specialized naval or ranching activity. The interior is sparse, marked primarily by a Ranch and the Ranch House Flagpole, suggesting the presence of the island's sheep ranching era or early military oversight. The coastline is intensely detailed, from the dangerous outcrops of Judge Rock and Middle Rock to the prominent eastern reach of Cardwell Point. Features such as the Pole Cross and Rock Cairn (Nob) serve as critical navigational markers on an island otherwise defined by its windswept topography and the surrounding Santa Barbara Channel.
