2019 Map of Sutwik Island D-3 NW

About this map

Nakalilok Bay dominates the central portion of this coastal survey, where the waters of the Pacific Ocean meet the high-relief terrain of the Aleutian Range. The map illustrates the stark geography of the Alaska Peninsula, characterized by steep ridgelines and deep coastal indentations that define this uninhabited stretch of the Lake and Peninsula Borough. The absence of roads or permanent settlements reflects the extreme isolation of the landscape, where the primary geographical markers are the natural contours of the mountains and the intricate shoreline of the bay. This 2019 data provides a clear view of the interface between the open ocean and the rugged interior peaks, documenting the land-sea boundary in a region where few human-made features exist to break the maritime and mountain environment.
