2021 Map of Samalga Island D-3 NW

USGS Topo · Published 2021

About this map

Umnak Island and the smaller Anangula Island define this reach of the Aleutian Islands, where the Bering Sea meets the Pacific Ocean. This survey highlights the coastal geography surrounding Nikolski Bay, including complex reef systems like Rudisell Reef and prominent landmarks such as High Hill. The presence of Nikolski Air Station on the eastern shore of the bay reflects the strategic military footprint in this part of Alaska, situated near River Cove and Mueller Cove. Indigenous Unangam Tunuu place names are extensively recorded across the landscape, marking features like Silusin Kadaa, Qimsugalux, and Achuugix Qachxitux. These labels provide a significant cultural layer to the physical terrain of Seaweed Pass and the surrounding coastline, offering researchers a look at the named points and coves that have long facilitated navigation in these waters.
