About this map

Neumann Island and the surrounding coastline of the Alaska Peninsula appear here in a wartime topographical study conducted by the War Department Corps of Engineers. This 1944 survey captures the intricate shoreline of Moffet Bay and the adjacent Bering Sea during the Aleutian Islands Campaign. The map highlights specific coastal features such as Moffet Point and Blaine Point, providing a record of the shoreline and terrain as it was understood for military operations in the North Pacific. Based on aerial photography from the 11th Mapping Squadron, the document illustrates the complex wetland and mudflat patterns typical of this subarctic environment, offering a clear view of the land-water interface before modern environmental shifts.
