2021 Map of Adak B-3 NW

About this map

The Yakak Peninsula forms a prominent landmass on the southwestern side of Adak Island, where the land meets the Pacific Ocean. This coastal landscape is defined by its deeply indented shoreline, most notably at Three Arm Bay and the sheltered South Arm Three Arm Bay. The terrain rises sharply from the sea, marked by significant coastal features such as The Three Sisters and Split Point to the north, and Hook Point to the west along the Adak Strait. The lack of roads or settlements emphasizes the maritime and topographical focus of this area. On the eastern shore, Middle Rock sits within the wide Bay of Waterfalls, a name that suggests the drainage patterns of the interior slopes. This survey provides precise elevation data for the various headlands, including Wedge Point and Low Point, documenting the interface between the Aleutian heights and the surrounding cold waters.
