1943 Map of Santa Rosa Island North

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The northern shoreline of Santa Rosa Island is defined by a series of steep drainages and coastal points captured in this 1943 survey for the Army Map Service. Central to the island's activity at this time is the Ranch located near Bechers Bay, where the Northwest Anchorage provided maritime access. The landscape is deeply carved by watercourses such as Cañada Soledad, Dry Canyon, and Cañada Lobos, which descend toward the Santa Barbara Channel. This document preserves the island's mid-century topographical state, including surveying benchmarks like Santa Rosa Island W Base and Santa Rosa Island E Base. Notable coastal landmarks such as Carrington Point, Coal Point, and Brockway Point reveal a rugged coastal morphology essential for maritime navigation and land management during the war era. Interior features like La Mesa and Round Top overlook the complex network of canyons, including Arlington Canyon and Cañada Tecolote.
