2018 Map of Santa Catalina South

About this map

Santa Catalina Island presents a complex interior landscape of steep ridges and deep drainage systems on its southern coast. The settlement of Eagles Nest sits along Middle Ranch Rd, which serves as a primary artery connecting the island's inland high points like Mt Banning and Cactus Peak. The topography is defined by significant coastal landmarks including Sentinel Rock and the southwest-facing Ben Weston Beach. Water management and natural drainage are evident through features such as McGee Lake and the winding course of Middle Canyon. This 2018 survey illustrates the network of primitive routes like KRBT Station Rd and Airport Rd that navigate the varied elevations between China Point and the dramatic drop-offs of the Grand Canyon label on the eastern edge of the quadrangle.
