1943 Map of Santa Cruz Island B

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The Central Valley of Santa Cruz Island serves as the geographic heart of this 1943 survey, a protected interior corridor bounded by steep coastal ridges. The Stanton Ranch sits at the eastern end of this valley, representing the primary human footprint on the island during this period. The survey reveals a landscape defined by its maritime accessibility, marking numerous landing sites such as Diablo Anchorage and Frys Harbor along the Santa Barbara Channel, while the southern shore is punctuated by Alamos Anchorage and Malva Real Anchorage facing the Pacific Ocean. Topographical landmarks like Devils Peak and Sierra Blanca dominate the rugged interior, while Gull Island Light provides a critical navigational aid off the southwestern coast at Punta Arena.
