1963 Map of Simeonof Island D-2

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Chernabura Island and Little Koniuji Island dominate this mid-century topographic study of the Shumagin Islands in the Pacific Ocean. The map documents the intricate coastline and elevation of these remote landmasses, including the southern tip of Chernabura at Point Farewell. The survey reflects a period when the United States was refining its coastal knowledge of Alaska through photogrammetric methods and earlier hydrographic charts. Significant marine passages are recorded, such as the Otter Strait to the west and the expansive Twelve Fathom Strait separating the islands. A portion of the Simeonof National Wildlife Refuge is identified along the eastern boundary, encompassing the Murie Islets. The lack of inland structures or roads emphasizes the uninhabited, maritime nature of the Shumagin group, with the Shumagin Bank shelf extending into the surrounding waters.
