2020 Map of Cold Bay A-3 SW

About this map

Aleutian Range terrain dominates this coastal Alaska landscape, where the volcanic mountains meet the complex shoreline of the Aleutians East Borough. The map focuses on the transition from the high ridges of the range down to the tidal waters of Morzhovoi Bay, a significant maritime feature on the peninsula. Between the mountains and the open bay, the land forms the protected waters of Littlejohn Lagoon, which is sheltered by the prominent landmark of Reynolds Head. This 2020 survey provides a modern record of the shoreline and elevation patterns in a region defined by its extreme isolation and dramatic topography, documenting the exact contours of the coast before future geological or sea-level shifts.
