About this map

English Bay sits at the northern edge of this coastal peninsula, serving as a primary point of settlement where the shoreline meets the South Channel. The landscape is dominated by the steep ascent of Mount Bede, which anchors the interior terrain between the waters of Cook Inlet to the west and the sheltered reaches of Port Graham to the northeast. Near the village, a small Landing Strip provides a critical transportation link for this maritime community, while Russian Point marks the entrance to the bay.

The coastal geography is defined by a series of prominent maritime landmarks, including the offshore Flat Islands and the navigational hazard of Magnet Rock. To the south, the peninsula terminates at Point Adam, overlooking the wide mouth of Koyuktolik Bay. This 1987 survey reflects a period of established local infrastructure, documenting the vital relationship between the isolated peninsula and the surrounding sea, with Passage Island guarding the northern narrows near Maple.
