Channel Islands Map

Channel Islands Map
NatGeo #252

Several islands exist off the coast of California. Catalina Island is by far the most popular, but not included on this map. Some refer to these as the Santa Barbara Islands, since they are out near the Santa Barbara Channel.

Many islands are inaccessible, but the Channel Islands are indeed a National Park – reachable only by boat or by air – from the Ventura coastline. Advanced reservations will be needed to book a boat trip or a flight to the islands.

OLD fold-out MAP

This smaller Baja fold out map was a once-off map publication that was printed in the mid-2000s, but it is impossible to find now. Originally selling for a mere $5.95, they were quickly outta stock and never to be seen again.

Furthermore, if you are seeking to travel Baja California in depth, may we suggest a GPS unit; and downloading the more relevant, digital maps over at Baja GPS Guide. They have newer digital maps for this region. Claiming to be the most detailed map of Baja, Copper Canyon, and mainland Mexico. NOTE: must own a compatible GPS for this map.

Lake Mead is a man-made lake that lies on the Colorado River, 25 miles from the Las Vegas Strip, in the states of Nevada and Arizona. It is the largest reservoir in the United States in terms of water capacity. Formed by the Hoover Dam on September 30, 1935, the reservoir serves water to the states of Arizona, California, and Nevada, as well as some of Mexico, providing sustenance to nearly 20 million people and large areas of farmland.
