1963 Map of Cold Bay D-1

About this map

Cape Lieskof anchors the southeastern corner of this maritime-focused chart, where the waters of the Bering Sea meet Bristol Bay. The geography is defined by a vast expanse of open water, with detailed hydrographic data compiled from a 1965 chart. The shoreline near the cape is characterized by an extensive Tidal Flat and numerous small coastal ponds, illustrating the transition between the Alaskan mainland and the sea. This 1960s survey provides a window into the unpopulated and unsurveyed coastal reaches of the Seward Meridian, where land lines were predetermined by the Bureau of Land Management rather than established through physical markings on the ground.
