About this map

Little Koniuji Island and the surrounding reaches of the Shumagin Islands define this maritime landscape where the Gulf of Alaska meets the Pacific Ocean. The topography is dominated by the complex, deeply indented coastline of the island, featuring protected anchorages like Northwest Harbor and Northeast Harbor. These natural harbors, along with Shoal Bay and Sandy Cove, suggest the critical role of seafaring and seasonal shelter in this part of the Aleutians East Borough. The waters are further complicated by hazards and navigational landmarks such as Murre Rocks, Hall Island, and the narrow Koniuji Strait. Small satellite landmasses like Atkins Island and Herendeen Island flank the main island, while Entrance Point marks a primary approach for vessels navigating the island's southeastern reaches.
