2020 Map of Stepovak Bay D-3 SW

About this map

The Gulf of Alaska dominates the southern landscape of this coastal survey, where the maritime reaches of the Lake and Peninsula Borough meet the sea. The terrain is characterized by a prominent peninsula or headland in the east, which rises steeply from the shoreline, as indicated by the dense contour lines. This topographical arrangement creates a sheltered area of water to the west of the high ridges. Off the southwestern coast, Spitz Island sits as a solitary landmark within the open gulf waters. The map effectively illustrates the interaction between the high, coastal elevations and the surrounding marine environment, showing a landscape defined more by natural landforms and the sea than by human infrastructure or permanent settlements.
