About this map

Santa Cruz Island and its eastern coastal reaches are documented in this 2021 study, highlighting the protected land within Channel Islands National Park. The topography is defined by significant elevations like High Mount and prominent coastal landmarks such as Cavern Point and San Pedro Point. A network of trails, including the Scorpion Loop Trl and Oil Well Trl, crisscrosses the island, suggesting a landscape primarily managed for conservation and limited pedestrian access.

The coastline is marked by several maritime entries, from Scorpion Anchorage in the north to the Middle Anchorage in the south. Sheltered areas like Potato Harbor and Smugglers Cove provide a view of the island's varied marine interface, while inland features like Hungryman Gulch and the Monanon Ridge Trl reflect the complex interior terrain. This contemporary survey captures the island's character as a preserved natural environment and research site.
