USGS Topo · Published 1944

About this map

Opperl Island lies at the threshold between the Bering Sea and the shallow reaches of Izembek Bay in this military survey conducted during World War II. Produced by the War Department and Corps of Engineers, U.S. Army, the sheet focuses on the intricate shoreline and sandbars that characterize this maritime landscape. The topography, derived from 1943 aerial photography by the 11th Mapping Squadron, reveals the shifting nature of the Aleutian coastal environment before modern development or environmental changes. This document was originally classified as Restricted, reflecting the strategic importance of the Cold Bay region during the Pacific campaign.
