1953 Map of Trinity Islands B-3 and C-3

About this map

Tugidak Island stands isolated in the Pacific Ocean at the southwestern edge of the Trinity Islands archipelago. This 1953 survey, compiled from aerial photography and hydrographic charts, reveals a landscape dominated by low-lying terrain and an intricate network of small interior ponds. The coastline is defined by a significant Tidal Flat on the northeast shore, suggesting a dynamic environment of shifting sands and tide-driven change. Evidence of human presence is sparse but distinct, marked only by a small cluster of Cabins on the southern coast. These structures likely served as seasonal shelter for hunters or fishermen in this maritime environment, providing a rare inland reference point on an otherwise remote island profile.
