1963 Map of False Pass D-3

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The coastal terrain of the Alaska Peninsula stands in stark relief along the northern reaches of the Pacific Ocean. This 1963 survey focuses on the maritime environment near Morzhovoi Bay, where the high elevations of North Walrus Peak and South Walrus Peak dominate the landscape. The map provides precise bathymetric data and shoreline details for Sandy Cove and Thinpoint Cove, reflecting the mid-century mapping efforts by the U.S. Geological Survey and USC&GS to chart these hazardous waters. In the open sea, isolated landmarks like Amagat Island and Umga Island serve as critical points for navigation, with a Light recorded on the latter. This map is particularly valuable for its depiction of the unsurveyed land lines as predetermined by the Bureau of Land Management, offering a view of how this coastal wilderness was formally organized before modern development.
