2018 Map of Santa Rosa Island North OE W

About this map

Channel Islands National Park encompasses the rugged northern coastline of Santa Rosa Island, where the land meets the vast Pacific Ocean. This coastal segment is defined by a series of dramatic drainages and landforms, most notably Brockway Point and the adjacent Cañada Verde. The topographic detail reveals the intricate erosion patterns of the island's interior, showing how ephemeral watercourses like Cañada Tecolote, Arlington Canyon, and Dry Canyon have carved deep into the landscape before reaching the sea. These features illustrate the natural geological processes active on the islands, providing a clear view of the drainage basins and coastal bluffs near Cañada Soledad that define this protected maritime environment.
