1943 Map of Santa Cruz Island C

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Lookout Cabin stands as a solitary human marker amidst the complex topography of this central portion of Santa Cruz Island. Mapped during the height of the Second World War for the Army Map Service, the terrain transitions from the high point of Mt Pleasant down to a coastline defined by numerous sheltered coves. The northern shore, facing the Santa Barbara Channel, features deep indentations at Prisoners Harbor and Chinese Harbor, while the southern cliffs drop toward the Pacific Ocean. This survey preserves the island's coastal geography before later developments, highlighting a maritime landscape where named points like Coche Point and various landings, including Coches Prietos Anchorage and Valley Anchorage, served as the primary interfaces between the island's interior and the sea.
