1943 Map of Santa Catalina East

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

The coastal settlement of Avalon serves as the focal point of this survey, which documents the eastern reaches of Santa Catalina Island during the mid-twentieth century. The map captures the specialized infrastructure required for island life, including the Wrigley Reservoir, Haypress Reservoir, and the local Power Plant at Pebbly Beach. Along the north-facing coast, a series of coves and landings—from Whites Landing and Moonstone Beach to Gallagher Beach—illustrate the maritime-dependent development of the era. High-elevation landmarks such as Bible Peak and Whitleys Peak overlook the deep incisions of Grand Canyon and Silver Canyon. These canyons descend toward the Palisades and the southern shoreline, where prominent maritime markers like Binnacle Rock and the Catalina Island East End Light guide traffic through the San Pedro Channel.
