1963 Map of Port Moller D-4

About this map

Nelson Lagoon Village sits on a narrow spit separating the waters of Bristol Bay from the vast tidal flats of Nelson Lagoon. This mid-century coastal landscape is defined by the commercial and subsistence activity typical of the Aleutians East region, centered on the Nelson Lagoon Cannery and a small collection of cabins. The terrain transitions from the marshy lowlands of the Sapsuk River delta to the prominent elevations of Miner Hill and Big Hill. To the east, the map details the sweeping curve of Cape Rozhnof and the barrier Kudobin Islands. This survey provides a precise look at the drainage patterns of Frank Creek and the Lefthead River, alongside landmarks such as the State Fish and Game Cabin and the shoreline at Lagoon Point.
