1943 Map of Santa Rosa Island East

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Sierra Pablo rises prominently on the eastern reaches of Santa Rosa Island, overlooking a shoreline marked by distinct coastal landforms. Mapped by the Army Map Service during the 1940s, this survey documents the island's topography as it appeared during the war years. The land tapers toward the sea at Skunk Point and East Point, forming the protective boundaries of Southeast Anchorage. The waters of the Santa Cruz Channel separate the island from its neighbor to the east, while the northern coast is defined by the sweeping curve of Beechers Bay. Sparse in human development, the map focuses on the natural contours of the island's interior and the sandy stretches around Sand Point, providing a primary record of this offshore environment before its later incorporation into the national park system.
