1963 Map of False Pass C-1

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Sandman Reefs dominate this maritime landscape in the Aleutians East region, marking a complex network of underwater hazards and small outcroppings amidst the Pacific Ocean. This 1963 survey, based on aerial photography from 1957 and hydrographic data from 1966, documents the isolation of these small landmasses including Goose Island, Little Goose Island, and Hay Island. The map is characterized by its focus on bathymetry and nautical navigation, recording depth curves and soundings in the cold northern waters. The sparse terrestrial features emphasize the maritime nature of this area, where land is infrequent and these specific islands serve as the primary landmarks for mariners navigating the approaches near the Alaska Peninsula.
