Frank, I agree. I saw the "depth?" Question go begging several times and thought I'd throw something out to start that conversation. I looked for dates in the Atlas and didn't find anything in the first 10 pages or so. I used a graph that changed to "data projections" to justify my "circa 2010".
I found depth readings for a few "Island lengths" around Howland but that was too small an area. https://www.pacioos.hawaii.edu/metadata/pibhmc_bathy_40m_howland.html
Google Earth seems a better source - depending on which data they used.
