1948 Map of Hagemeister Island C-6

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Cape Peirce stands as a prominent sentinel where the waters of Bristol Bay and Kuskokwim Bay meet, anchoring a coastal landscape defined by steep headlands and protected inlets. This 1948 survey, based on aerial photography and maritime data from the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey, reveals a wilderness environment devoid of roads or permanent settlements. The terrain rises sharply from the shore to peaks like Chagvan Mountain and Tokomanik Mtn, while the coastline is notched by the deep recess of Security Cove. The intricate drainage of the Slug River feeds into Nanvak Bay, protected from the open sea by a series of narrow sand spits. This map captures the region in its raw, mid-century state, documenting isolated maritime landmarks such as Castle Rock and Pinnacle Rock that have served as navigational aids for generations of mariners along this part of the Alaska coast.
