If I remember the correctly, the old OPF Uber Editor Tutorial (some big-ass pdf file from the mid 80ies)
had a site-listing for "interesting places/map reference" around the three first islands (Everon, Malden and Kolgujev), which at the time came in pretty handy when you were scouting for locations.
And since the islands havent changed, it still probably might.
But there is probably an updated version somewhere though, including Nogova.
