Barton, Santa Rosa Island
From Islapedia
Barton, Santa Rosa Island is a survey station established by William E. Greenwell in 1860, and revisited by Stehman Forney in 1872. It is
- “on the south face of the island about 2 miles from the ocean. It is on a smooth-top hill, which, in the immediate vicinity of the signal, is very stony. It is about due south of the spring described in Cañada Corvron and on the south side of it. It is in full view from the spring.”
The station could not be relocated in 1934.
- “The top of the hill is loose, soft limestone rock making poor holding for any stakes driven in the ground. They have no doubt been kicked out.”
