2021 Map of Santa Rosa Island East

About this map

Channel Islands National Park encompasses the rugged eastern coastline of Santa Rosa Island, where the land meets the Pacific Ocean at prominent landforms like Skunk Point and East Point. This coastal landscape is defined by its isolation and maritime geography, with the Santa Cruz Channel separating this island from its neighbors. Primitive tracks, including the Sierra Pablo Road Trl and East Point Road Trl, provide the only terrestrial access through the island's interior to the eastern shoreline. The map documents the intricate coastline and bathymetric contours of the surrounding waters as they appeared in the early 21st century, serving as a primary reference for the physical geography of this protected marine and island environment.
