About this map

Stepovak Bay dominates the central and southern reaches of this maritime landscape in the Aleutians East Borough. The terrain is defined by dramatic coastal transitions, from the low-lying Stepanof Flats in the northeast to the rising elevation of Lookout Hill in the northwest. This 2020 survey illustrates the remote character of the Alaska Peninsula, where drainage systems like Big River empty into the cold waters of the Pacific.

Evidence of the region's complex shoreline is found in the south, where the Kupreanof Peninsula extends into the bay, and in the small offshore features such as Gull Rocks. The map primarily captures an undeveloped wilderness, organized by the Public Land Survey System grids of T50S and T51S, showing a place where topographical relief and tidal inlets like Ramsey Bay dictate the limits of navigation and land use.
