2021 Map of Seguam C-6 NW

About this map

The Bering Sea dominates this northern reach of the Aleutian Islands, where the landscape is defined by the isolated landforms of Seguam Island. This 2021 survey details the intricate shoreline and volcanic topography of the island's western and northern fringes, including the prominent heights of Chyaguulax and the coastal features of Umaatanax and Ugixaadax. The map provides a precise look at the Aleut nomenclature of the region, identifying specific points such as Chaamlagan Yaaga and Chyaguulam Adangan Yaaga. To the west, the coastline is punctuated by features like Usagiilux and Kunalisxux, while the offshore rock of Qalgizax sits isolated in the open water. This map captures a remote maritime environment where human infrastructure is entirely absent, focusing instead on the complex natural geometry of the coastline and the naming of the land by the indigenous people of the Aleutians West Census Area.
