1943 Map of Santa Cruz Island C

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Lookout Cabin stands as a solitary human landmark on this 1943 survey, overlooking a coastline defined by numerous maritime shelters. The map illustrates a landscape of strategic importance during the war years, with the Santa Barbara Channel to the north and the open Pacific Ocean to the south. Shoreline features suggest a history of maritime refuge, from the north-facing Prisoners Harbor and Chinese Harbor to southern inlets like Coches Prietos Anchorage. The rugged interior is punctuated by heights such as Mt Pleasant, while the surrounding waters are marked by specialized landing sites like Potato Harbor and Pelican Bay. This topography reflects the isolation of the island at mid-century, prior to modern conservation management, serving primarily as a navigation reference for the Department of the Army.
