2018 Map of Santa Catalina West

About this map

Santa Catalina Island narrows to its distinctive isthmus at the settlement of Two Harbors, where the land bridge separates the north and south shores. This 2018 survey documents the varied coastal topography of the western portion of the island, reaching its highest elevation at Silver Peak and dropping to the water at named points such as Eagle Rock and Cape Cortes. The mapping reveals a shoreline defined by specific landings and coves, including Johnsons Landing, Parsons Landing, and the sheltered waters of Catalina Harbor. Inland, the terrain is marked by steep contours leading toward summits like Mt Torquemada, while the coast is dotted with geological features like Ribbon Rock and Indian Rock, highlighting the complex maritime and terrestrial geography of this Los Angeles County landmark.
