1943 Map of Santa Cruz Island D

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Coastal topography and maritime landmarks define the eastern end of the island in this 1943 survey by Fairchild Aerial Surveys, Inc. for the Army Map Service. The landscape is marked by steep elevation changes and deep drainages like Hungryman Gulch, terminating at dramatic coastal features such as Cavern Point and San Pedro Point. The eastern shoreline is dotted with safe harbors and landings including Scorpion Anchorage, Smugglers Cove, and Yellowbanks Anchorage. The map reveals a remote environment where maritime navigation and natural freshwater sources like the Spring near the center of the sheet were critical for any terrestrial activity. Offshore, the waters of the Santa Barbara Channel and Anacapa Passage surround the land, highlighting the isolation of this terrain during the mid-twentieth century.
