1943 Map of Santa Cruz Island C

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Santa Cruz Island, as mapped during the early 1940s, reveals a coastline defined by strategic maritime access points and steep island terrain. High above the Santa Barbara Channel, the Lookout Cabin stands near the northern shore, while the interior is dominated by the prominence of Mt Pleasant. This period of mapping, conducted for the Army Map Service, highlights the essential nature of the island's many natural inlets. The northern coast features the primary landing at Prisoners Harbor, while the southern shore is marked by several remote landing sites including Valley Anchorage and Coches Prietos Anchorage. These features suggest a landscape where movement was largely dictated by the sea, serving as a snapshot of the island's isolation and utility before modern developments changed the character of the Channel Islands.
