Seal Point triangulation, San Miguel Island

Seal Point, San Miguel Island is a survey station established by Stehman Forney in 1871. It was located “on the highest knob of the extreme northwest point of the island, covered with rocks.” In 1934 Robert W. Knox revisited this site:

“on a small, flat area about 25 meters northwesterly from the highest part of Harris Point, the northernmost point of San Miguel Island.”

He marked it with a standard disk stamped SEAL POINT 1871.

This triangulation station appears on the San Miguel Island East topographic map.
