1963 Map of Stepovak Bay D-6

About this map

Big River meanders through the northeast of this Alaskan coastal quadrangle, eventually spilling into the marshy expanse of Stepanof Flats. The landscape is dominated by the dramatic coastline of the Kupreanof Peninsula, where the high ground of Lookout Hill and Red Hill overlooks the cold waters of Stepovak Bay and Ramsey Bay. Numerous topographic markers and benchmarks, such as Dent, Bales, and Cent, reflect the meticulous surveying efforts of the early 1960s. The shoreline is highly detailed, showing Tidal Flat zones and prominent maritime hazards like Gull Rocks and Wall Rock. The western edge of the map features the steep terrain surrounding Grub Gulch and Clark Bay, highlighting a wilderness area shaped by glacial activity, evidenced by the Crevasses noted in the high northern peaks.
