1948 Map of Hagemeister Island D-3

About this map

Matogak River and Quigmy River dominate the northern landscape of this coastal survey, where the winding watercourses drain into the protected waters of Togiak Bay. Based on aerial photographs from the mid-1940s, the map illustrates a remote coastal environment defined by high relief and maritime landmarks. The prominent summit of Aeolus Mtn stands as a navigational sentinel over the northern shore, while across the Hagemeister Strait, the northern portion of Hagemeister Island is charted with its coastal features, including the distinct formations at Tongue Point and Rocky Point. The lack of roads or trails on the mainland reflects the reliance on marine and riverine travel in this part of southwestern Alaska. Hydrographic data from the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey provides a look at the shoreline before minor revisions were made in the 1970s.
