1963 Map of Port Moller C-6

About this map

Alaska Peninsula National Wildlife Refuge dominates this coastal landscape on the southwestern peninsula, where an intricate network of waterways flows toward the Pacific. The topographic survey reveals a wilderness defined by drainage patterns, from the meandering Steelhead Creek and David River in the north to the Caribou River which empties into the tidal flats. Along the southern shore, the protected waters of Pavlof Bay are fed by Chinaman Lagoon and Jackson Lagoon, while the elevation rises sharply toward the interior at Trader Mountain. A lone Cabin situated near the lagoon indicates the sparse human presence in this region during the early 1960s. This survey records the shoreline and hydrology of the Aleutians East region as it appeared before the full implementation of modern conservation boundaries, showing the relationship between the tundra lake systems and the sea.
