Bluff, San Nicolas Island
From Islapedia
Bluff, San Nicolas Island is a triangulation station established by William E. Greenwell of the U.S. Coast Survey in 1858. It is located at the northwest end of the airfield on the central mesa. As Greenwell described it:
- “A knoll or hill covered with the same low sage bushes as seen about the base.”
Bluff, San Nicolas Island , California, William E. Greenwell 1858; Stehman Forney, 1879.—On a dark knoll, one fourth of a mile from the face of the bluff and on the same tableland as the base line. (Note 19, p. 617.) There were also three stubs, each with a nail in the top, to the north, south, and west of the center. [Annual Report of the Director, U.S. Coast & Geodetic Survey, 1904]
