2012 Map of San Nicolas Island OE NW

About this map

San Nicolas Island emerges from the Pacific Ocean in this 2012 topographic study of Ventura County's outermost Channel Island. The map focuses on the northern coastal segment of the island, revealing a network of local roads and trails that traverse the maritime landscape. Contours at 20-foot intervals trace the gradual elevation gains from the shoreline into the interior, showing the landform's orientation within the surrounding sea. This survey provides a contemporary record of the island's geography, serving as a primary reference for the topographic profile of this isolated California territory during the early twenty-first century.
