1950 Map of Santa Catalina West

USGS Topo · Published 1950

About this map

Silver Peak dominates the high, ridged interior of the western end of Santa Catalina Island, where steep canyons descend to a perimeter of numerous named coves and rocky points. This mid-century survey shows the area's development concentrated at remote outposts like Parsons Landing and Johnsons Landing, and the specialized establishment of the Girl Scouts Camp at Emerald Bay. The westernmost tip of the island is marked by the Catalina Island West End Light at Lands End, a critical navigational aid for vessels navigating the San Pedro Channel. To the south, the deep indentation of Catalina Harbor is protected by Catalina Head and Ballast Point, offering a glimpse into the maritime refuge used by sailors long before modern development reached these shores.
