1952 Map of Saint Michael A-2

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Point Romanof and the Romanof Light stand as a prominent landmark at the mouth of Pastol Bay, overlooking the waters of Norton Sound in the early 1950s. This survey, mapped by the Army Map Service using 1951 aerial photography, captures the coastal landscape of western Alaska during a period of transition. The presence of Nokrot (Aband) near the shoreline indicates a site of former activity or settlement, while further south, Coffee Point marks a distinct point along the bay. Inland, the map reveals a complex network of seasonal travel routes, including a Winter Trail that weaves through a landscape defined by the Pikmiktalik River and Charlie Creek. The detailed topography illustrates the low-lying, water-logged coastal plains common to the region, providing a specific look at the terrain before contemporary environmental shifts.
