2021 Map of Afognak D-1 NE

About this map

West Amatuli Island and East Amatuli Island dominate the seascape of this maritime frontier where the Cook Inlet meets the Gulf of Alaska. The terrain is characterized by steep island topography, with Table Mtn rising sharply above the shoreline. This 2021 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey provides a clear view of the Barren Islands group, including the isolated Sugarloaf Island to the south and Nord Island to the northwest. The waters of the Kennedy Entrance separate these landmasses, while Amatuli Cove provides a rare point of sheltered water along the rocky coast of the larger islands. The map reflects a landscape defined by extreme relief and maritime isolation, largely unchanged by modern development and focused on the transition between protected inlets and the open sea.
