1950 Map of Santa Catalina North

USGS Topo · Published 1950

About this map

Mt Orizaba and Black Jack Mtn dominate the northern interior of Santa Catalina Island, showing a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes and managed water resources. This 1950 survey, based on 1943 field data, reveals a network of livestock infrastructure and early development, from the Upper Buffalo Corral Res to the remote Wrigley Ranch. Along the coast, distinct landings and coves such as Empire Landing and Isthmus Cove suggest the island's dual role as a working landscape and a nascent destination. The topography is dotted with practical landmarks including a Stone Quarry, the Pump Station, and the inland Black Jack Camp, providing a clear record of the island's mid-century utility and habitation patterns before later modernization.
