1943 Map of Santa Cruz Island B

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

The Central Valley forms a deep, east-west tectonic furrow through the heart of the island, a topographic feature that has historically anchored local ranching operations. In this mid-century period, Stanton Ranch stands as the primary outpost of human activity, situated at the eastern end of the valley where terrain levels out. The island's northern shore, facing the Santa Barbara Channel, is deeply notched with maritime havens such as Ladys Harbor and Diablo Anchorage, while the southern coast meets the Pacific Ocean at more exposed points like Punta Arena and the Laguna Canyon drainage. High elevation landmarks like Davis Peak and the white limestone of Sierra Blanca provide significant navigational aids for both land travelers and coastal sailors navigating the waters near Gull Island.
