1947 Map of Hagemeister Island C-7

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Cape Newenham forms a dramatic wedge between Kuskokwim Bay and Bristol Bay at this remote Alaskan headland. The land is largely defined by the Cape Newenham National Wildlife Refuge, where the terrain rises sharply from the sea to peaks like Jagged Mtn and Oracle Mtn. The presence of a Weather Station, a Landing Strip, and a lonely Cabin reflects the strategic and scientific importance of this coastal outpost during the mid-20th century. These small signs of human activity stand in contrast to the stark landscape, which includes offshore features like Bird Rock. The map illustrates the isolated nature of the Bering Sea coast before modern infrastructure reached most of western Alaska.
