Soledad, Santa Rosa Island

Soledad, Santa Rosa Island is a survey station established by Stehman Forney in 1872.

“The signal stands on the highest peak of the island at the head of Cañada Soledad and about midway of the island east and west, north and south. The best way to get to it is to follow up Cañada Verde until you come to a small grove of willows surrounding a spring of water, at this point you will find a trail leading over a low divide to the southward and westward of the spring. Follow this trail over the divide into the next canyon, which is Cañada Soledad. Follow this canyon up to its head and go on up to the top of the main ridge of mountains and on the highest peak in sight you will find the signal.”
