1997 Map of Tol

About this map

Chuuk Lagoon surrounds the volcanic islands and coral formations of Faichuk in this detailed study of the Federated States of Micronesia. The map illustrates a landscape where traditional coastal settlements like Wichuk, Winisi, and Chorong are connected by a network of trails and unimproved roads. Topographic data captured in the late 1960s was updated with 1997 imagery to show the distribution of schools and houses of worship that serve these island communities. The terrain is defined by prominent elevations such as Chukunon and distinct island regions including Polle and Udot. Smaller islands like Romunum and Fanapenges are shown with their specific village centers, including Nengonon and Awomol. This survey provides a precise record of the shoreline and interior paths before the turn of the millennium, documenting the geography of the former Truk islands.
