2018 Map of Santa Cruz Island C OE N

About this map

Santa Cruz Island and its northern shoreline are the focus of this 2018 topographic study within Channel Islands National Park. The landscape is dominated by the interior Central Valley, a significant topographical depression that cuts through the island’s mountainous center. The map documents the northern coastline as it meets the Pacific Ocean, showing the relationship between the island's steep ridges and the surrounding marine environment. This edition reflects the modern protected status of the land, detailing the undeveloped terrain and the preserve's natural boundaries as they existed in the late 2010s.
