2021 Map of San Miguel Island West

About this map

San Miguel Island dominates this maritime survey, showing the western reaches of the northernmost island in the Channel Islands National Park. The landscape is defined by its isolation and dramatic coastal features, including the prominent Point Bennett and the inland heights of Green Mountain. The map details a single traversable path, the Point Bennett Trail, which provides access through the protected terrain. Off the wind-swept coast, numerous maritime hazards and landmarks are documented, such as Wilson Rock, Castle Rock, and the submerged Wycoff Ledge. These features, along with names like Oil Springs and Westcott Shoal, highlight the navigational complexity and natural preservation of this remote Santa Barbara County territory. The survey provides a modern accounting of the island’s topography, capturing the shoreline contours of Adams Cove and Tyler Bight during a period of ongoing environmental stewardship.
