Driggs Cove, San Clemente Island

Driggs Cove, San Clemente Island is mentioned by Stehman Forney, surveyor, in 1878, when describing the triangulation station Mesa:

Mesa, San Clemente Island , California, Stehman Forney, 1878.—On the mesa to the east of the isthmus at the western edge of the island about midway between Driggs Cove and the San Clemente anchorage. The station was marked by a stone 0.7 foot long and 0.3 foot across the top, with a leaden bolt and a copper nail in its top, the copper nail marking the center of the station. Four redwood stubs, each with a copper tack in the top were placed even with the surface of the ground, ranging approximately, north, south, east and west, and distant 2 feet from the center of station.
