2021 Map of Samalga Island D-6 SW

About this map

Mt Cleveland dominates this remote volcanic landscape in the Aleutian Islands, rising as a symmetrical cone between the Bering Sea and the Pacific Ocean. This 2021 survey illustrates the island's steep, concentric topographical contours, which reveal the dramatic relief of the stratovolcano. Coastal features are concentrated along the northern and eastern shores, where Applegate Cove and South Cove provide distinct maritime breaks in the otherwise uniform coastline. The surrounding waters are marked by Carlisle Pass to the west, a narrow strait that separates this landmass from its neighbors in the volcanic chain. The map serves as a precise record of this uninhabited terrain, focusing on the raw interaction between high-elevation geology and the subarctic maritime environment.
