2020 Map of Stepovak Bay D-6 NE

About this map

The Aleutian Range dominates this portion of the Alaska Peninsula, where the high-altitude terrain creates a dramatic watershed for the Big River. Flowing generally southward, the river carves through a landscape defined by significant elevation changes, as indicated by the tight contour intervals across the northern half of the quadrangle. This 2020 edition provides a clear visualization of the political geography of the region, specifically the boundary line where the Aleutians East Borough meets the Lake and Peninsula Borough. The absence of developed roads or settlements emphasizes the remote, natural character of this Alaskan wilderness, where the primary features are the sweeping mountain ridges and the glacial drainage patterns of the river valley.
