About this map

Pavlof Islands dominate this 1963 survey of the remote Alaskan archipelago, showing the maritime landscape before later developmental shifts. The map details the substantial landmasses of Ukolnoi Island and Wosnesenski Island, along with smaller outcrops such as Poperechnoi Island and Dolgoi Island. The topography focuses on elevation contours and coastal features including Southwest Point and unique landmarks like The Pinnacle.

Navigational hazards are clearly identified throughout the surrounding waters of the Pacific Ocean, with labeled features such as Ukolnoi Rocks, Midway Rock, and South Rocks providing essential context for the maritime activity of the mid-twentieth century. Compiled from 1957 aerial photography and 1964 hydrographic data, the map captures the untouched character of these islands, where no roads or trails were recorded at the time of the survey.
