1963 Map of Sutwik Island C-4

About this map

Sutwik Island dominates this mid-century topographic study, standing as a prominent landmass within the Pacific Ocean off the Alaska Peninsula. The island's complex shoreline is defined by numerous small bays and points, culminating at the eastern tip at Foggy Cape. North of the main island, the small Hydra Island appears as a distinct satellite feature. Compiled from 1957 aerial photography and field annotated in the early 1960s, the map reveals a landscape defined entirely by natural topography, with no roads, trails, or permanent human settlements indicated. The interior is characterized by significant elevation changes, providing a detailed view of the island's coastal geography before later administrative changes in the region.
