1963 Map of Simeonof Island D-4

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Nagai Island dominates this maritime survey, showcasing the complex coastline of the Shumagin Islands in the early 1960s. The map illustrates a landscape shaped by the sea, where the narrow isthmus of Saddlers Mistake separates the northern and southern reaches of the landmass. This coastal geography provided critical landmarks for navigation and local activity long before modern technology, as evidenced by the prominence of features like Mountain Point at the southern tip. Surrounding the main island, satellite landforms such as John Island to the north and Near Island to the east dot the Pacific Ocean, highlighting the isolated and maritime-dependent nature of this Alaskan region. The 100-foot contour intervals reveal the elevations that served as lookouts and navigation aids for the sparse inhabitants and sailors of the era.
