2020 Map of Cold Bay C-2 SE

About this map

The Alaska Peninsula meets the cold expanse of the Bering Sea in this coastal survey, where the terrestrial landscape is defined by its drainage systems and shoreline geometry. Water dominates the environment, as the Cathedral River and North Creek carve paths through the peninsula’s lowlands. Smaller tributaries like N Cr emphasize the intricate hydrology of this subarctic region. The map reflects a landscape where natural boundaries take precedence over human infrastructure, showing the intersection of the maritime and terrestrial worlds. These waterways were essential corridors for native movement and later exploration, providing a detailed look at the hydrology of the Aleutians East Borough before any significant industrial footprint. This 2020 record serves as a baseline for the shifting coastlines and river deltas of the high north.
