1952 Map of Hooper Bay C-4

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Panowat Spit and the adjacent waters of the Bering Sea define this coastal landscape, which was recorded during early-1950s aerial photography. The coastline is characterized by dynamic shifting sands, with dunes and Nyok Spit protecting a network of inland tidal features. Most notable among these is the Manayagvik Slough, which weaves through a low-lying area of sand and mud. The map provides specific maritime and navigational markers including a wreck located just off the western shore of the spit. At the northern edge, Aniktun Island and the mouth of Igiak Bay illustrate the complex transition between the open sea and the protected coastal inlets. This survey captures the region prior to significant modern changes, documenting the precise locations of geodetic markers like VABM Kokechik North Base and VABM Kokechik South Base.
