1949 Map of Pribilof Islands

USGS Topo · Published 1949

About this map

The isolated volcanic outcrops of the Pribilof Islands emerge from the Bering Sea in this late-1940s reconnaissance, detailing the primary landmasses of St. Paul Island and St. George Island. Compiled from older hydrographic and 1898 Treasury Department charts, the map focuses on the shoreline and topographical relief critical for maritime navigation and the local fur seal economy. The settlement of St Paul is shown near the western edge of Lukanin Bay, while St. George sits on the northern coast of its namesake island near North Anchorage. Inland, the landscape is defined by cinder cones and volcanic peaks such as High Bluffs and Ulakia Hill, alongside numerous small freshwater bodies like Big Lake and Atka L. Small satellite features, including Otter Island and Walrus Island, are also documented with their respective elevations.
