About this map

Augustine Volcano dominates this maritime survey, rising from the center of Augustine Island within the waters of south-central Alaska. Based on late-1950s observations, the map illustrates the geological isolation of this volcanic peak, surrounded by Cook Inlet and Kamishak Bay. Human presence is minimal, marked only by a lone Cabin on the western shore and a rudimentary Tractor Trail that skirts the southern base of the mountain.

The coastal topography is defined by sharp features such as Burr Pt to the north and Tignagvik Pt across the water to the west. On the mainland shore, Rocky Cove and the mouth of Sunday Creek provide specific points of reference for early exploration and navigation in a region primarily shaped by volcanic activity and tidal waters. The survey captures the island before more modern volcanological monitoring stations were established, showing only the raw landscape and the most basic survival infrastructure.
