1963 Map of Port Moller D-3

About this map

Herendeen Bay and the interconnected waters of the Alaska Peninsula dominate this 1963 survey, revealing a landscape defined by tidal activity and coastal resource extraction. The presence of Mine Harbor and Coal Point near the Coal Valley suggests a history of mineral exploration or transport along these cold shores. To the north, the massive Cape Rozhnof projects into Mud Bay, separated from the open sea by the barrier-like Kudobin Islands and the shallow Nelson Lagoon. Remote outposts are visible at the Village Spit Landing Strip and a solitary Cabin located near Black Point. The intricate navigation of the Hague Channel and Johnston Channel provides insight into the maritime paths used by fishermen and explorers navigating between the peninsula's jagged points like Bold Bluff Point and Shingle Point.
