1953 Map of Port Moller

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

Nelson Lagoon Cannery stands as a focal point of industrial activity on the northern coast of the Alaska Peninsula, where the tidal flats of Nelson Lagoon meet the Bering Sea. This mid-century survey illustrates a landscape defined by the transition from the maritime commerce of Port Moller and Balboa Bay to the active volcanic peaks of the interior, such as Pavlof Volcano and Mt Dana. The distribution of Cabins, Burns Cabins, and a Village near the coast highlights the seasonal and subsistence-based settlement patterns of the era. To the south, the Dolgoi Naval Reserve and the Naval Reserve Boundary indicate the strategic geopolitical importance of the Pavlof Islands and Unga Island during the post-war period. The terrain is marked by significant landmarks like Staniukovich Mtn and the numerous inlets of the Kudobin Islands, offering a detailed view of the coastline before modern developments.
