1954 Map of Sutwik Island D-3

About this map

Nakalilok Bay and the jagged southern coastline of the Alaska Peninsula define this 1954 survey. The map details a maritime landscape of extreme transitions, from the steep Cliff and high Cascade near Nakol to the expansive Tidal Flat at the head of the bay. Navigation and coastal activity are evident through the identification of Nakolilok E Base and various Cabins located on remote islands like Ugaiushak Island. This topographic study, compiled from 1953 aerial photography and USC&GS hydrographic data, captures the geographical nuances of Cape Kuyuyukak and the hazards of Chiginagak Bay, including Logan Reef and several areas marked foul. Farther offshore, Central Island and several smaller islets emphasize the isolation of this Pacific coastline during the mid-twentieth century.
