About this map

The Alaska Peninsula meets the Pacific Ocean in this high-latitude survey of the Aleutian East coast. This shoreline transition is marked by the steep relief of the Aleutian Range, where North Walrus Peak and South Walrus Peak overlook the waters of Morzhovoi Bay. The terrain drops sharply from these heights to the coastal shelf, punctuated by landmarks like Cape Tachilni.

Offshore, the map documents several distinct islands, including Egg Island and the larger Amagat Island, which is dominated by the prominence of Amagat Peak. The lack of inland infrastructure emphasizes the maritime character of the region, where the landscape is defined by its topographical extremes and exposed coastal features. This 2020 edition provides a clear record of the geological and hydrographic status of this remote stretch of the Alaska coast.
