About this map

Perryville serves as the primary coastal settlement on this Alaskan Peninsula survey, situated at the mouth of the glacial Kametolook River valley. The map documents the intricate coastline of the Pacific Ocean, where the Kupreanof Peninsula reaches south and the Chiachi Islands archipelago punctuates the waters of the bay.

Maritime activity is reflected in the designated Landing Area near the village and the sheltered waters of Kupreanof Harbor. The landscape transitions from the river's alluvial fan to the sharp elevations of Coal Cape and Three Star Point. Researchers can trace the drainage patterns of Red Bluff Creek and identify several named landforms and smaller islands, such as Petrel Island and Pinusuk Island, which define this coastal environment during the early 1960s.
