About this map

King Cove and the coastal settlement of Belkofski anchor this maritime landscape on the southern tip of the Alaska Peninsula. Compiled from aerial photography dating back to the 1960s, the map illustrates a region defined by its deep bays and volcanic peaks, such as Mount Dutton. The presence of the Landing Strip near Delta Creek highlights the essential role of air transport in these isolated coastal communities, while Kitchen Anchorage and Captain Harbor signify the vital reliance on the sea.

Conservation boundaries are prominent, with large portions of the terrain protected within the Izembek National Wildlife Refuge and the Alaska Peninsula National Wildlife Refuge. Notable landmarks like Indian Head and Table Rock serve as coastal navigators along Belkofski Bay. The survey also marks family-named features like Johnny Smith Lagoon, reflecting the local human geography integrated into the Aleutian wilderness.
