1948 Map of Hagemeister Island C-4

About this map

Hagemeister Island dominates this mid-century maritime study, showcasing the stark coastal geography of the Bristol Bay region. Surveyed by the U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey using aerial photography from 1948, the map documents the shifting shoreline where Hagemeister Strait meets the open water. The island's western edge is defined by significant deposits of Mud and Sand and the prominent protrusion of Asigyukpak Spit. To the south, the land terminates at Calm Point, a critical coastal landmark for navigation in these waters. This survey provides a baseline of the island's uninhabited terrain and hydrography before the minor revisions of the early 1970s, serving as a primary record of the topographic and inshore detail for the Dillingham area during the post-war era.
