1963 Map of Stepovak Bay C-5 and C-6

About this map

The Kupreanof Peninsula dominates this coastal survey, reaching south into the Pacific Ocean with a complex shoreline of inlets and dramatic headlands. This 1963 field-annotated map reveals a maritime landscape shaped by tidal forces and steep elevation changes, with Hag Peak standing as a primary landmark above the eastern shore. Navigation and geographic orientation are defined by distinct coastal markers such as Fox Cape, Kupreanof Point, and Bluff Point. In the surrounding waters, the survey details the positions of Jacob Island and Leader Island to the east, while Stepovak Bay and Island Bay provide sheltered waters to the west. Broad Tidal Flats are indicated near the land bridges, reflecting the significant intertidal zones of the Alaska Peninsula during the early 1960s.
