About this map

High Island dominates this 1948 topographic survey of the northern reaches of Bristol Bay. As part of the larger Walrus Islands chain, the island serves as a significant geographic marker in these Alaskan waters. The entire land area is designated as the Walrus Islands State Game Sanctuary, emphasizing its importance as a protected habitat for marine life.

Detailed surveying by the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey identified several high points on the island, including VABM 1658 High and the southern VABM 1548 High Az Mark. The map illustrates the steep elevation changes and sandy beach peripheries of this isolated landmass before later environmental shifts and administrative revisions. These data points provide a precise record of the island's topography as it was documented in the mid-20th century.
