The coastal town of Avalon serves as the primary gateway to the eastern side of Santa Catalina Island, where the steep terrain of the interior meets the Pacific Ocean. This survey illustrates the dense concentration of infrastructure surrounding Avalon Bay, from the Los Angeles County Catalina Courthouse to the winding paths of the Avalon Waterfront Trl. The map details the transition from the developed waterfront to the rugged canyons of the interior, such as Gallagher Canyon and Silver Canyon. Local water management is evident in the upland basins of Haypress Reservoir and Wrigley Reservoir, essential for sustaining the island community. Along the shoreline, prominent landmarks like Casino Point and the Cabrillo Peninsula define the harbor's character, while the Avalon Memorial Cem provides a point of interest for those tracing the lineage of the island's early residents.
