Preliminary Survey of Anacapa Island and East End of Santa Cruz Island California

Detailed chart of Anacapa Island and East End of Santa Cruz Island, California. The entire island of Anacapa is shown along with the area around Smuggler's Cove on Santa Cruz Island. This chart shows the ridges and valleys' good inland topographical details (hachures). Numerous depth soundings, isolines, and notations give excellent bathymetric information. The bottom conditions and limits of kelp, rocks, and buoys are shown. Tidal information, notes, and remarks to the mariner are also given. A beautiful elevation view of Arch Rock on Anacapa Island, engraved by James Abbott McNeill Whistler, is prominent on the lower left.

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.
