2015 Map of San Nicolas Island OE NW

About this map

The Pacific Ocean dominates this offshore survey, capturing the maritime boundaries where the Ventura Co line extends into open water. This 2015 study focuses on the northwestern coastal approach to San Nicolas Island, depicting the dramatic bathymetry and topographic relief of the northern shoreline as it rises from the sea. The map provides a precise look at the transition from the depths of the ocean to the complex coastal terrain of this offshore environment. While primarily an aquatic survey, the inclusion of the California state boundary line illustrates the administrative divisions that reach far beyond the mainland, essential for maritime navigation and coastal resource management.
