1998 Map of Santa Catalina South

USGS Topo · Published 2002

About this map

Middle Ranch and the nearby Eagles Nest sit in the interior of Santa Catalina's southern coast, marking a pocket of development amidst the dramatic elevation shifts of the island's high ridges. This late-twentieth-century landscape is defined by its coastal isolation, where land access is constrained by the steep walls of Middle Canyon and Cape Canyon. Water management is central to the area's geography, visible through the Thompson Dam and Middle Ranch Reservoir, which serve as critical infrastructure in this arid environment. Along the shoreline, historical access points such as Mills Landing and Silver Canyon Landing represent the few breaks in the rocky Pacific coast where sea-to-shore activity was feasible. The map also records prominent survey markers and peaks, including Mt Banning and Cactus Peak, providing a clear record of the island's topography as it remained largely unchanged at the turn of the millennium.
