2020 Map of False Pass D-1 NW

About this map

Deer Island and the complex northern shoreline of the Alaska Peninsula dominate this survey of the Aleutians East region. The landscape is defined by steep coastal elevations rising sharply from the Pacific Ocean and the narrow waters of Deer Passage. This terrain is dissected by short, high-gradient drainage systems like Eastern Cr and Southern Cr, which flow toward the eastern coast from the interior highlands. Near the northern limit of the sheet, Stag Point serves as a prominent maritime landmark where the coastline turns sharply. The lack of roads or established settlements emphasizes the wilderness character of the area, typical of the remote Unimak Island vicinity where surveying relies on SPOT satellite imagery and modern hydrography data.
