Barton 2, Santa Rosa Island

Barton 2, Santa Rosa Island is a survey station established at 1204 feet on the south side of the island near the head of San Agustin Canyon. In 1934, surveyor Charles K. Green described its location:

“on a high prominent knoll to the southwest about 2 miles away on the ridge that runs from the gate on the oil surfaced road that skirts the main ridge of the island to the south side of the island. At the summit of a fork of a ridge that leads down to station Ridge. At the head of San Agustin Canyon about 300 meters north of a spring and watering trough. The best way to reach the station is to follow the trail that leads southeast from the main ranch house to the mouth of the Water Canyon. Turn right at the broad trail leading up the ridge just south of the Water Canyon. Follow the trail till you come to a gate. Pass through the gate and you come out on a long flat ridge leading up to the station. This ridge forms the south wall of the Cañada Agua.”

The station was marked with a standard disk. This triangulation station appears on the Santa Rosa Island South topographic map.
