About this map

The active volcanic landscape of the Alaska Peninsula dominates this 1983 survey, defined by the towering presence of Pavlof Volcano and the adjacent Pavlof Sister. This area, part of the Alaska National Wildlife Refuge, showcases a terrain shaped by eruptive forces, featuring the prominent Mount Hague and the distinctively shaped Double Crater and Little Pavlof. These peaks descend toward the waters of Pavlof Bay, where the coastline transitions from the high peaks to the expansive tidal flats of Long Beach.

The map records a dynamic maritime environment where protected waters such as Chinaman Lagoon and Long John Lagoon provide essential habitats. Coastal landmarks including Bluff Point, Black Point, and the offshore Black Rock serve as significant navigational references along a shoreline where the administrative boundary follows the mean high water line. This document captures a wilderness at the intersection of tectonic activity and the North Pacific's edge.
