About this map

Nazan Bay and the turbulent waters of Amlia Pass define this maritime landscape in the Aleutians West Census Area. This coastal survey detail reveals a complex shoreline where the Bering Sea meets the Pacific Ocean through a network of rocky promontories and secluded inlets like Malas Udaa. The map documents a traditional Unangan geographical context, preserving indigenous place names such as Aaguliigagix and Yaxagim Angaa alongside colonial designations like Cape Kudugnak and Palisades Point. Small offshore features, including Uyak Island and the isolated Outer Rock, serve as critical navigation markers along these Aleutian shores. The topography is characterized by steep coastal cliffs and narrow points, including Flat Point and Profile Point, which illustrate the volcanic nature of the archipelago's terrain.
