1963 Map of Cold Bay B-4

About this map

Amak Island rises from the surrounding waters where the Bering Sea meets Bristol Bay, serving as the primary landmass in this isolated maritime survey. As part of the Aleutian Islands National Wildlife Refuge, the island features significant topographic detail, including the peaks of Amak and Badger. To the northwest, Sealion Rock is marked with a Light, indicating its importance for navigation in these often treacherous northern waters. Historical interest is found on the southeastern shore of the island, where the presence of Ruins suggests earlier human activity or seasonal occupation. The map provides a focused look at the volcanic profile of the island and the bathymetry of the seafloor immediately surrounding this remote sanctuary during the early 1960s.
