2021 Map of Adak C-6 SE

About this map

Hot Springs Bay and the surrounding coastal reaches of Kanaga Sound define this 2021 study of the Aleutian landscape. The area is characterized by dramatic marine transitions and maritime hazards, featuring prominent navigational landmarks such as Village Reef and Eider Reef. The topography suggests a complex relationship between the volcanic terrain and the sea, evidenced by the sheltered waters of Portage Bight and the narrow passage known as The Ditch. While no modern settlements are recorded on this specific sheet, the inclusion of Barabara Island hints at the regional history of indigenous earth-sheltered dwellings. The map further documents significant coastal points like Point Aries and Trunk Point, providing a detailed look at the island's perimeter where it meets the Bering Sea.
