1963 Map of Stepovak Bay

About this map

The Alaska Peninsula and the rugged coastline of the Pacific Ocean dominate this mid-century survey. The village of Perryville stands as a focal point of settlement along the coast, situated near the Kametolook River and sheltered by the surrounding peaks of the Aleutian Range. The map reveals a complex maritime landscape of deep inlets and rocky headlands, including the prominent Kupreanof Peninsula and the remote Shumagin Islands. To the south, the West Nagai Strait and East Nagai Strait flank the various bights and harbors of the outer islands, such as Sanborn Harbor and Nagai East Bight. Evidence of coastal activity is found in isolated Cabins and a designated Landing Area near the mouth of the Ivanof River. Notable landmarks like Red Bluff Mountain and Hag Peak provide significant navigational aids for this seafaring region.
