1943 Map of Santa Rosa Island West

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

Sandy Point anchors the westernmost reaches of Santa Rosa Island in this mid-century topographic record, where the windswept coastline meets the San Miguel Passage. Mapped during the Second World War for the Army Map Service, the terrain exhibits a stark, undeveloped character defined by deep erosional features like Arlington Canyon and Canada Tecolote that carve through the island's interior toward the eastern edge of the sheet. The offshore environment is dominated by the Pacific Ocean, punctuated by maritime hazards and landmarks such as the solitary Bee Rock and the southern protrusion of Cluster Point. The interior topography includes several surveying marks like Blunt and Sand 2, which hint at the logistical efforts required to document this remote California landscape during a period of heightened coastal surveillance.
