1948 Map of Pribilof Islands

About this map

The Pribilof Islands emerge from the Bering Sea in this topographical profile, documenting the critical seal habitats and isolated outposts of St. Paul Island and St. George Island. On the northern island, the settlement of St. Paul is shown adjacent to Village Cove, supported by a visible Landing Strip and surrounded by a landscape of volcanic cones like Bogoslof Hill and Polovina Hill. To the south, St. George sits on the northern shore of its respective island, near North Anchorage and the steep High Bluffs. This survey, compiled from hydrographic and treasury department charts, emphasizes the maritime dependency of these remote Aleutian communities, highlighting coastal features such as English Bay and Garden Cove alongside smaller islets like Walrus Island and Otter Island.
