1943 Map of Santa Cruz Island A

USGS Topo · Published 1990

About this map

Christi Ranch sits along the western interior of Santa Cruz Island, representing a rare point of human habitation in a landscape dominated by steep coastal bluffs and deep-cut canyons. Mapped during the early 1940s, this area shows a terrain defined by its complex drainage systems, including the westward-running Canada Cervada and the expansive Cañada De Los Sauces. Along the shoreline, the map identifies specific maritime hazards and safe harbors such as Posa Anchorage and the sheltered Forney Cove, which separate the rugged headlands of West Point and Fraser Point. At the northern tip, the Santa Cruz West Latitude Station provides a specific reference point for mid-century surveying, while nearby landmarks like the Painted Cave and Profile Point highlight the unique geological formations of the island's coastline where the Santa Barbara Channel meets the Pacific Ocean.
