2015 Map of Sister Rocks

About this map

Crescent City anchors the northern coastline of this survey, where the urban grid meets the rocky shoreline of the Pacific Ocean. The map documents a dramatic maritime landscape defined by numerous named offshore features, including Whaler Island, Pelican Rock, and Battery Point Island. Moving south from the city, the terrain transitions into the protected coastal wilderness of Redwood National Park. The survey captures the interface of land and sea along Crescent Beach, tracing the winding paths of Nickel Cr and Damnation Cr as they cut through the steep coastal elevations toward the shore. Notable landmarks like the Sister Rocks and Midway Point serve as distinct navigational markers for this stretch of the Del Norte County coastline, illustrating the complex geography that has shaped local navigation and settlement patterns.
