2015 Map of Santa Rosa Island North OE W

About this map

Channel Islands National Park encompasses the rugged coastline and northern waters of Santa Rosa Island. This coastal stretch of the Pacific Ocean is defined by a landscape of deep canyons and prominent points that have remained largely undeveloped. The maritime geography is marked by Brockway Point, while the interior terrain is carved by notable drainages including Cañada Soledad, Cañada Verde, and Dry Canyon. The lack of roads or settlements emphasizes the island’s role as a protected natural sanctuary within Santa Barbara County. This topographic record highlights the complex contouring of the island's north shore, providing a precise look at the drainage patterns and coastal features essential for maritime history and conservation research.
