About this map

Perl Island anchors the northwestern corner of this maritime landscape, its steep topography rising abruptly from the surrounding waters of the Gulf of Alaska. As part of the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge, the island stands as a protected sanctuary amidst the open expanse where the gulf meets the Pacific Ocean. This map illustrates the isolation and topographic character of the Kenai Peninsula’s outer coastal fringe, where the landscape is defined by tide and elevation rather than human infrastructure or settlement. The transition from the rugged shoreline of the island to the vast marine environment highlights the ecological significance of these remote island outposts in the North Pacific.
