About this map

Seal Beach and the intricate coastal landscape of Huntington Harbour dominate this 2018 survey of the Orange County shoreline. The map documents the high density of residential developments and man-made waterways that characterize this stretch of Southern California, including the specialized neighborhood of Surfside Beach and the extensive commercial and educational infrastructure of Westminster, anchored by Golden West College. Inland from the Pacific Ocean, the landscape is a grid of suburban expansion, yet legacy terrain features like Landing Hill and Hog Island remain identifiable amidst the modern street layout.

Transportation and recreation are central to the area's identity, with the San Gabriel River Trail providing a corridor for movement near the Long Beach border. The map also captures the ecological and hydrological complexity of the region, illustrating the Bolsa Chica Channel and Bolsa Bay, which separate the developed beaches of Sunset Beach from the interior residential tracts of Huntington Beach.
