2020 Map of Port Moller D-1 SE

About this map

The Alaska Peninsula coastline takes center stage in this 2020 topographic study, where the steep, high-elevation terrain of the Aleutian Range meets the Pacific waters of Clark Bay. The landscape is dominated by extreme relief, with ridges rising sharply from the water's edge to summits exceeding 2,800 feet. This specific corner of the peninsula illustrates the complex geomorphology of Alaska's volcanic arc, where coastal inlets like Little Norway provide rare, sheltered breaks along an otherwise formidable and mountainous shoreline. The mapping of township and range lines across such vertical terrain highlights the challenges of surveying the remote Aleutians East region, where the intersection of water and ice-carved rock remains the defining characteristic of the landscape.
