2020 Map of Cold Bay D-1 SE

About this map

Alaska Peninsula terrain meets the coastal waters of Bristol Bay in this 2020 topographic record of the Aleutians East region. The landscape is defined by the prominent landform of Cape Lieskof, where the shoreline curves along the western edge of the peninsula. Surveyed by the U.S. Geological Survey using data from the National Hydrography Dataset and National Elevation Dataset, the map illustrates the complex interface between the coastline and the interior. The cartography includes detailed public land survey system boundaries, such as t51s r83w and t51s r82w, which provide a framework for understanding land divisions in this maritime environment. This modern survey captures the elevation contours and wetland characteristics of the peninsula's tip before it extends further into the Bering Sea.
