1989 Map of Sutwik Island D-2

About this map

Cape Providence anchors the coastline where the Alaska Peninsula National Wildlife Refuge meets the open water. This 1980s coastal survey captures a remote maritime environment dominated by the Pacific Ocean and the sheltered waters of Chiginagak Bay. The map highlights distinct geographical formations, including the offshore Aiugnak Columns and the prominent Aiugnak landform. These features serve as critical navigational markers along an uninhabited stretch of the peninsula, where landforms like Navy Island are the primary identifiers for this wilderness area. The absence of roads or settlements underscores the preservation of this region as part of the federal wildlife refuge system established during this era.
