2019 Map of Sutwik Island D-4 SW

About this map

Aniakchak National Preserve dominates the central landscape of this coastal stretch on the Alaska Peninsula, where the wild terrain meets the Pacific Ocean. This 2019 survey documents a rugged interface of land and sea protected within a complex of federal lands, including the Alaska Peninsula National Wildlife Refuge and the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge. The coastline is defined by the prominent Cape Kunmik, which separates the waters of Amber Bay to the west from the broader reach of Yantarni Bay to the northeast. Inland, the hydrology is characterized by short, steep drainages such as Misery Cr, Home Cr, and Yantarni Cr, which carve through the coastal mountains. The map reveals a landscape largely devoid of human infrastructure, focusing instead on the natural topography and the precisely defined boundaries of these vast conservation units during the early twenty-first century.
