About this map

Big Koniuji Island and the surrounding coastline of the Pacific Ocean define this maritime landscape in the Aleutians East region. The survey highlights the intricate relationship between steep coastal terrain and protected waters, particularly within the sheltered confines of Fairweather Bay and the adjacent Flying Eagle Harbor. These deep-water inlets, flanked by high-relief peninsulas, provide natural anchorage points in a region otherwise exposed to the open sea.

The topography transitions from the small outlier of Peninsula Island to the larger landmasses where elevation contours reveal a series of sharp ridges and coastal bluffs. This 2020 map serves as a precise record of the shoreline and maritime features, documenting the uninhabited character of these islands while mapping the specific land-and-water boundaries that define the Gulf of Alaska's rugged periphery.
