1943 Map of Santa Catalina South

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Middle Ranch and the nearby Eagles Nest anchor the interior of the southern half of Santa Catalina Island in this 1943 survey. The landscape is defined by the steep drainage of Silver Canyon and the prominent heights of Mt Banning and Cactus Peak. Water management is central to the island's mid-century pastoral operations, evidenced by Thompson Dam which captures runoff within the canyon systems. Along the shoreline, isolated coastal points like China Point and Salta Verde Point frame the rugged interface with the Pacific Ocean. The presence of Quartz indicates local geological interests or mining prospects that once drew attention to these hills. For those studying the evolution of the island's interior, this document provides the exact positioning of ranching infrastructure and coastal access points like Mills Landing and Silver Canyon Landing as they existed during the war years.
