About this map

Albatross Anchorage and the complex shoreline of the Alaska Peninsula dominate this early 1960s hydrographic and topographic study. The landscape is defined by its maritime utility, featuring protective points and hazards like Monolith Pt, Renshaw Pt, and the Ballast Reef. Small, isolated Cabins are scattered along the coastlines of Dorenoi Bay and San Diego Bay, suggesting a seasonal or subsistence-based presence in this maritime environment.

Glacial and alluvial valleys such as Grass Valley Creek and Portage Creek cut through the high terrain, providing natural corridors toward the interior from Herendeen Bay. The map records a moment before extensive modern development, focusing on the natural geography of Guillemot Island and the transition into the Unga Strait. This survey reflects the detailed photogrammetric mapping efforts of the era, capturing the precise contours and tidal flats that define this part of the Aleutians East region.
