High Island, a prominent landmass within the northern reaches of the Walrus Islands chain, rises sharply from the waters of Bristol Bay. This 1952 topographic study, compiled from aerial photography and hydrographic surveys, focuses on the isolated geography of the island. The eastern shoreline is defined by a stretch of Sand Beach, while the interior elevation reaches its peak at VABM 1655 High, a primary triangulation station used for geodetic control. The survey also identifies VABM 1546 Az Mark near the southern point, providing essential navigational and surveying data for this maritime region. The map reflects the early post-war effort by the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey to accurately chart the remote coastal features of the Alaska Territory.
