1943 Map of Santa Catalina East

About this map

Avalon serves as the focal point of this wartime coastal survey, where the street grid and piers of the town meet the deep waters of Avalon Bay. Along the windward and leeward shores, the landscape is defined by its steep coastal geography, from the sheer Palisades in the south to a string of recreational and youth sites like YMCA Camp and Boy Scouts Camp to the north. These settlements represent a specific era of island development, mixed with industrial markers like the Renton Mine and a Power Plant near Pebbly Beach.
