2021 Map of Adak C-3 NE

About this map

Mt Moffett dominates this portion of the Aleutian Islands, its massive volcanic profile rising sharply above the Bering Sea. Located within the Andreanof Islands chain, the terrain is characterized by steep contours and dramatic coastal points including Cape Moffett to the north and Cape Kiguga to the west. This 2021 topographic study captures the uninhabited and windswept character of the landscape where the northern slopes terminate at Acorn Rock and the sheltered waters of Andrew Bay. To the south, the land narrows toward the North Spit, illustrating the complex coastal geomorphology of this remote island environment. The map provides a precise record of the elevation and coastline at a time when these islands remain critical points of interest for geological study and maritime navigation in the North Pacific.
