About this map

Nagai Island anchors this maritime survey of the Shumagin Islands area in the Gulf of Alaska. The island's northern tip is defined by Cape Wedge and a coastal Light, serving as a critical waypoint for vessels navigating the passage between the West Nagai Strait and East Nagai Strait. The interior of the landmass is part of the Amnwr, indicating its status as part of the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge. This 1960s data, updated with 1980s hydrographic details, provides a precise look at the soundings and depths of the surrounding Pacific Ocean, reflecting the region's reliance on maritime navigation and its preservation as a protected wildlife habitat.
