DESCRIPTION

Detailed chart of Santa Cruz Harbor and Vicinity and Point Año Nuevo Anchorage. The Santa Cruz Harbor chart shows the town, Mission, San Lorenzo River, Point Santa Cruz, roads, buildings, properties/farms, vegetation, and topographical features (hachures), etc. Point Año Nuevo Anchorage shows the bay, Point Año Nuevo, rocks, and numerous depth soundings, along with great inland topographical detail. A sub-sketch of the relative positions of the harbors is included. This sub-sketch shows the California coast from San Francisco Bay, the Farallone Islands south to the Bay of Monterey. Includes sailing directions, tidal information, and explanatory notes.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

All of our United States Coast Survey (USCS), United States Coast & Geodetic Survey (USC&GS), and similar maps and charts have been professionally unfolded and flattened using humidity baths, semi-permeable membrane, and drying blotter techniques. Most others you typically see on eBay have not been, and worse, are quickly and crudely unfolded for the low-quality photos you see. Unfolding these maps in that way is damaging and weakens them. Please be aware.
