Spur, Santa Rosa Island

Spur, Santa Rosa Island is a survey station established by William E. Greenwell in 1860. “The signal stands on the west face of the hill which is the continuation of the same spur that Farrell is on. The signal is east of Farrell signal. The best way to get to it is to follow up the ridge to the eastward of Farrell and the trail that leads over the main ridge of mountains running across the island from east to west will take you bear by the signal.” In 1874, Greenwell added it was “on a spur of the foothills, the third spur going west from the sheep camp near Corral triangulation station, about 100 feet below the summit. Between the station and the summit there is quite a deep canyon heading at the foot of a crescent-shaped ridge which connects the spur and the summit.” [UTM 10: North 3,760,799 East 763,333].
