History of Zimovia Point

Named "M(ys) Zimovia" meaning "winter point" by the Russian Hydrographic Dept. in 1848 on Chart 1396. It appears to be identical with Spuhn Point, named in 1880 by the U.S. Navy. Both names were published by U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey (USC&GS) in the 1883 Coast Pilot, p. 198.
