1943 Map of Santa Rosa Island South

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

Johnsons Lee sits on the southern edge of the island, overlooking the vast Pacific Ocean during the height of World War II. This topographic study, mapped for the Army Corps of Engineers, reveals a landscape carved by drainage networks such as Jolla Vieja Canyon and the evocatively named Wreck Canyon. The interior is defined by named peaks including Barton 2, Bald Hill 2, and Lopez, which served as critical survey points for the Geological Survey. The coastline transitions from the prominent South Point in the west to Ford Point in the east, reflecting the island's isolation and its strategic maritime importance in the early 1940s.
