Attu Island’s northern coast meets the Bering Sea along a series of distinct bays and beaches, including Steller Cove and Auburn Cove. The landscape is dominated by high ridges and glacial drainage patterns, where the West Steller Valley and East Steller Valley converge toward the coastline. Landforms such as Red Head and Henderson Ridge provide clear topographic markers in this subarctic environment. To the south, the terrain rises toward Attu Mtn, creating a steep interior. This survey documents the island's natural corridors, specifically the Abraham-Temnac Pass and Abraham Valley, which represent the primary passages through the interior elevations. The map reveals a wild, unpopulated coast defined by isolated stretches like Smith Beach, Center Beach, and Birch Beach.
