1963 Map of Simeonof Island D-4

About this map

Simeonof Island stands isolated in the Pacific Ocean in this topographic study, reflecting the maritime landscape of the Shumagin Islands in the early 1960s. The terrain is defined by its prominent heights, notably Saddler Peak, and its complex coastline which includes the curiously named Saddlers Mistake. Smaller landmasses like John Island to the north and Near Island to the east provide a glimpse into the archipelago's distribution before modern navigational changes. The map traces the natural contours of the land down to Mountain Point at its southern tip, offering researchers a look at the island's morphology as documented by the Geological Survey during a period when hydrographic data was being updated from USC&GS charts.
