1963 Map of Stepovak Bay D-3

About this map

Mitrofania Island dominates this coastal survey, serving as a geographic anchor within the Pacific Ocean waters of the Aleutian Range foothills. The map documents a sparse but significant human presence along the shoreline, particularly at Mitrofania and the nearby Mitrofania Harbor. A Church and an area of Ruins near Stirni Point suggest a long-standing pattern of settlement and maritime activity. The rugged coastline is defined by several protected inlets, including Sosbee Bay and Anchor Bay, which would have been vital for small craft navigating these remote Alaskan waters. Further north, the settlement of Ivan sits at the head of Ivan Bay, where Long Beach stretches toward the mainland interior. These details, including isolated landmarks like a Cabin on the island and the small Brother Islands, provide a clear record of the area's mid-century coastal character.
