Lime Point, Santa Rosa Island

Lime Point, Santa Rosa Island is a survey station established by William Greenwell in 1860. The station was found undisturbed by Stehman Forney in 1872. It was located:

“on the extreme northeast point of a rolling table-land northeast of Cañada Verde almost 480 feet due south of a point on the bluff, 300 feet west of the mouth of a small stream, the first stream west of the Cañada Lobos.”

The station was recovered in 1934 by Charles K. Green and marked with a standard disk stamped LIME POINT 1860-1934.

“The best way to reach the station is to follow the Cañada Lobos trail to the sea. Thence west along the beach to Cow Canyon, the first canyon west of Cañada Lobos.”

This triangulation station appears on the Santa Rosa Island North topographic map. [UTM 10: North 3,767,970 East 767,026].
