About this map

Sand Point serves as the primary coastal hub on Popof Island in this early 1960s topographic survey of the Shumagin Islands. The map highlights the essential maritime and aerial infrastructure of the era, including a Landing Strip and Radio Towers situated near Humboldt Harbor. Across the narrow Popof Strait, the larger landmass of Unga Island reveals a complex shoreline of inlets and points, featuring Coal Harbor and Zachary Bay to the west.

A notable historical detail includes identified Ruins on the northern coast of Unga Island, suggesting earlier habitation or industrial activity near the tidal flats. The surrounding waters, including the deep Unga Strait and Korovin Strait, are meticulously charted with soundings, while coastal landmarks such as Aliaksin Cape and Swedania Point define the northern entrance to these island passages.
