1963 Map of Port Moller A-1

About this map

Nagai Island dominates this maritime survey of the Shumagin Islands, characterized by its deeply recessed bays and prominent coastal landmarks. The eastern coastline is defined by several protected anchorages, including Sanborn Harbor, Eagle Harbor, and Falmouth Harbor, each separated by narrow, finger-like peninsulas terminating at points like Wooly Head and Cape Horn. To the northwest, across the deep waters of West Nagai Strait, lies the corner of Popof Island at Popof Head. This 1963 field-annotated data shows the island's intricate geography before modern changes, noting small maritime features like Larsen Bay and Caton Cove. The soundings and depth curves, compiled from hydrographic charts, provide a detailed profile of the surrounding Pacific Ocean floor as it relates to the steep elevations of the island terrain.
