1948 Map of Pribilof Islands

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The Pribilof Islands emerge from the Bering Sea in this topographical record, centered on the remote communities of St Paul and St George. Compiled from hydrographic and Treasury Department charts dating back to 1898, the map illustrates the delicate geography of St. Paul Island and St. George Island, along with smaller neighbors like Walrus Island and Otter Island. The landscape is defined by its volcanic legacy, featuring numerous cinder cones and hills such as Bogoslof Hill, Rush Hill, and Ulakaia Hill. Inland, numerous small basins form bodies like Webster L and Atka L. The presence of the Landing Strip on St. Paul Island points to the mid-century strategic and logistical importance of these islands. Historically significant coastal features, including English Bay and North Anchorage, highlight the maritime connections essential for these isolated Bering Sea settlements.
