1963 Map of Stepovak Bay D-2

About this map

The remote coastline of the Alaska Peninsula is dominated by the deep waters of Kuiukta Bay and the exposed reaches of the Pacific Ocean. This coastal survey, based on aerial photography from 1962, documents a landscape where land meets sea through dramatic points like Cape Ikti and Seal Cape. The presence of Herring Lagoon tucked behind a narrow coastal strip suggests the dynamic tidal environments of this subarctic region. While the interior is largely unsurveyed, the detailed soundings and depth curves in Seal Bay reveal the essential maritime data compiled during the mid-1960s to support navigation along this undeveloped stretch of the Aleutian Range foothills.
