1943 Map of Santa Catalina North

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Mount Orizaba and Black Jack Mountain dominate this rugged coastal landscape, reflecting the interior topography of Santa Catalina Island during the early 1940s. The map illustrates a developed ranching and resource-based economy, centered around landmarks like Wrigley Ranch and a Stone Quarry. Water management is clearly a priority for island operations, evidenced by a network of catchments including Upper Buffalo Corral Reservoir, Summit Reservoir, and Echo Lake. The coastline is marked by isolated landings and coves, from Isthmus Cove and Fishermans Cove in the west to Empire Landing and Goat Harbor along the northern shore. These points of entry, along with the inland Black Jack Camp, highlight the island's dual identity as both a working landscape and a specialized enclave in the San Pedro Channel.
