2021 Map of Kiska C-2 NW

USGS Topo · Published 2021

About this map

Russian Ridge and Persian Ridge dominate the interior of this section of Kiska Island, part of the Aleutian Islands chain. This volcanic landscape is defined by its deeply indented coastline, where numerous coves and bights like Quisling Cove, Gertrude Cove, and Ethel Cove provide potential anchorage or shelter from the surrounding Bering Sea. Named hills and ridges serve as the primary landmarks across the treeless terrain, including Lasso Hill, Lulu Hill, and the descriptively named Leg Hills. The southern reaches of the map open into the broad Vega Bay, while the northern coast is punctuated by offshore hazards like Swallow Rocks and Sparrow Rocks. This modern survey documents the remote topography and named coastal features of an island that saw significant military activity during the mid-20th century.
