2019 Map of Sutwik Island B-6 NW

About this map

Cape Kumliun dominates the northern coast of this maritime study, where the foothills of the Aleutian Range meet the cold waters of the Pacific Ocean. This coastal segment of the Alaska Peninsula is defined by its dramatic relief and isolation, centered on the protected waters of Chignik Bay. The terrain rises sharply from the shoreline toward mountainous peaks, with small drainage systems like Kumliun Cr cutting through the ridges. To the west, Gull Island stands as a distinct landmark in the bay, marking a landscape largely shaped by geological forces and the sea. The map reveals the stark intersection of high-elevation tundra and the open ocean at the edge of the continent.
