2021 Map of Santa Barbara Island OE N

About this map

The vast expanse of the Pacific Ocean dominates this offshore survey, capturing the maritime boundaries north of Santa Barbara Island. This specific quadrangle covers a significant marine area within the Channel Islands National Park, illustrating the remote oceanic territory managed by the Department of the Interior. While the map is centered on open water, it serves as a critical spatial record for the protected waters surrounding California's least-visited national park islands. The lack of terrestrial features or contour lines highlights the isolated nature of this marine environment, where the primary focus is the intersection of federal maritime jurisdiction and the open sea during the early twenty-first century.
