1951 Map of Gareloi Island

About this map

Gareloi Island and its solitary volcanic peak dominate the central waters of this 1951 reconnaissance, positioned between the Amchitka Pass and Tanaga Pass. The survey, based on aerial photography from 1941 and 1951, provides a clear view of the isolated Delarof Islands chain, including Oglauga Island, Skagul Island, and Kavalga Island. These small landmasses, scattered across the boundary of the Bering Sea and the Pacific Ocean, are primarily defined by their volcanic origins and navigational points like Dinkum Point and Knob Point.
