2021 Map of Santa Rosa Island North

About this map

Channel Islands National Park protects the northern coastline of Santa Rosa Island, where steep coastal canyons and offshore hazards meet the Pacific Ocean. This modern survey details a landscape defined by its marine environment, featuring prominent hazards like Beacon Reef and Rodes Reef that have long challenged coastal navigation. On land, the terrain is deeply incised by drainages such as Canada Verde, Cañada Lobos, and Cow Canyon, which flow toward the northern shore. While most of the area remains undeveloped wilderness, the map traces limited access via the Carrington Point Road Trl and Lobo Canyon Trl. Significant coastal landmarks including Carrington Point, Coati Point, and Corral Point provide a clear view of the island's jagged perimeter and the protected waters of Northwest Anchorage.
