1943 Map of San Miguel Island West

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Green Mtn rises above the western reaches of this island during a period when the area was strictly documented for maritime and scientific navigation. The terrain is characterized by its isolation between the Santa Barbara Channel and the Pacific Ocean, featuring a coastline defined by exposed points and sheltered bights. Surveyed by the Army Map Service during the mid-war era, the map records the presence of the New San Miguel Latitude Station, a key site for precise geographic measurement. Coastal features such as Point Bennett and Adams Cove suggest the island's role as a waypoint for research and surveillance before more modern development. The topography is meticulously detailed, showing the steep elevations and natural catchments that define the landscape of the Simonton Cove area.
