Sandman Reefs dominate the northern portion of this maritime survey, illustrating the complex underwater topography of the Aleutians East region. Mapped from 1957 aerial photography and field-annotated in the early 1960s, the sheet focuses on the hazardous marine environment where the Pacific Ocean meets these scattered outcroppings. The small, isolated landmasses of Goose Island, Little Goose Island, and Hay Island provide the only terrestrial reference points amidst a sea of depth soundings and bathymetric contours. This document captures a remote frontier before modern satellite surveying, utilizing hydrographic data from the Usc&GS to chart the submerged hazards that define this subarctic coastline.
