1952 Map of Hagemeister Island C-7

About this map

Cape Newenham forms a dramatic topographical boundary on this 1952 chart, where the waters of Kuskokwim Bay meet the northern expanse of Bristol Bay. This coastal survey, compiled by the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey using aerial photography from the late 1940s, focuses on the isolated mountainous terrain of the peninsula. High points like Jagged Mtn and Oracle Mtn dominate the shoreline, while the small outlier Bird Rock sits just off the northern coast. An approximate boundary line runs through the water, marking the official separation between the Fourth Judicial Division and the Third Judicial Division. The map provides detailed bathymetric depth curves and precise elevation contours for this uninhabited stretch of the Alaskan coast.
