About this map

Barren Islands emerge from the meeting point of Cook Inlet and the Gulf of Alaska, documented here from 1951 aerial photography. This maritime landscape is dominated by the steep topography of Ushagat Island and the paired landmasses of West Amatuli Island and East Amatuli I. The survey provides critical hydrographic data and landmark positioning for this isolated archipelago, including the location of a Lighthouse on the easternmost point.

Navigational and topographical details highlight the prominence of Table Mountain on Ushagat, alongside smaller outcroppings like Nord Island, Sud Island, and Sugarloaf Island. Significant summits such as Amatuli Peak and Puffin Peak are recorded, while Amatuli Cove offers a rare break in the shoreline. These records reflect a period of detailed mapping by the Geological Survey and Bureau of Land Management to define the unmarked land lines of the Seward Meridian.
