2012 Map of Santa Cruz Island C

About this map

Stanton Ranch sits inland on the southern coastline of Santa Cruz Island, overlooking a series of natural maritime harbors. This rugged island geography is defined by its series of south-facing landing sites, including Coches Prietos Anchorage and Willows Anchorage, which historically provided essential shelter for vessels navigating the Pacific Ocean. The coastal morphology is marked by prominent landmarks such as Bowen Point and the distinct White Rock, serving as navigational aids for those approaching the island's shores. The interior terrain is characterized by a network of drainage systems flowing toward the coast, where quiet havens like Albert Anchorage, Blue Banks Anchorage, and Valley Anchorage punctuate the interface between the land and the sea.
