1963 Map of Simeonof Island D-1

About this map

Simeonof Island dominates this 1963 survey of the remote Shumagin Islands, situated within the cold waters of the Pacific Ocean. This isolated landmass, characterized by its protective Simeonof Harbor on the northwest coast, is part of the extensive Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge. The surrounding hydrography, including the Twelve Fathom Strait and the vast Shumagin Bank, highlights the treacherous maritime environment of the Aleutians East region. To the northwest, the map identifies Little Koniuji Island and the smaller Murie Islets, showing the scattered nature of these volcanic outcroppings. This topographical record, which underwent minor revisions through 1984, documents the shoreline and elevation contours of a landscape managed for conservation, where human settlement is absent in favor of protected habitat for coastal wildlife.
