1963 Map of Port Moller A-6

About this map

Dolgoi Island and the surrounding Pavlof Islands dominate this coastal survey of the Alaska Peninsula's southern edge. This mid-century document details a landscape defined entirely by its maritime geography, where the Pacific Ocean meets complex island chains and deep-water inlets. The topography of Dolgoi Island reveals a high, central ridge system overlooking the protected waters of Dolgoi Harbor, a significant natural anchorage shielded by Entrance Island and the Olga Islands. To the west, the narrow Iliasik Passage separates the mainland from Inner Iliasik Island and Outer Iliasik Island. Coastal features like Dushkin Lagoon and Arch Point indicate a coastline shaped by dramatic tidal action and volcanic proximity, with Volcano Bay marking the northwestern reach of the sheet. No roads or permanent settlements are recorded, emphasizing the area's isolation and reliance on water-based travel.
