“The site of the Base Line, Santa Rosa Island begins about due west from the main anchorage. Immediately upon the bank of this anchorage is an old corral close by which, tho unseen from the water, is a small wooden house. From this house or corral the base line will bear about west by north and distant about 1000 meters more or less. The locality of the base is that known on the island as the ‘Rodeo Ground’ a level spot where large bands of cattle have been collected for the purpose of gentling and selecting out. From the description the general locality can be found. The Base Line is not level, the terrain being in the same plain, but the ground stepping from each making a sort of valley between this… At each terminus red sandstone monuments were placed with USGS on top. These were sunk one foot in the ground, projecting two inches above the surface. At right angle to these and distant three feet, four redwood stubs with copper nails in the top were driven in the ground, which will give additional security to the end of the Base.”
