2020 Map of Cold Bay B-3 SW

About this map

Izembek Lagoon and the surrounding coastal waters of the Bering Sea define this section of the Alaska Peninsula. The landscape is a complex of barrier islands and tidal flats, where Kudiakof Islands and Glen Island stand as prominent landforms against the open sea. This 2020 survey illustrates the remote maritime character of the region, emphasizing the intricate shorelines of Izembek Slough and the eastern reach of Bird Island. Human infrastructure is minimal, represented primarily by Grant Point Road which terminates at the geographic landmark of Grant Point. The map provides a precise view of these dynamic coastal features as they were documented by the U.S. Geological Survey in the early twenty-first century.
