About this map

Kanaga Island and its surrounding maritime hazards dominate this survey of the western Aleutians. The topography reveals a jagged coastline where Western Point and West Chunu Point reach into the north Pacific Ocean, framing the sheltered waters of Monroe Bay. Navigation through these subarctic waters is defined by numerous offshore dangers such as Annoy Rock, Goose Rocks, and Eddy Rock, emphasizing the isolation and challenging environment of the archipelago. Between the island landmasses, Kanaga Pass and Explorer Passage provide narrow corridors for maritime transit. The map's detail shows a landscape largely shaped by coastal processes, with Eureka Bight cutting into the western shore near Hazard Point, offering a clear view of the island's perimeter as it existed in the early 21st century.
