1963 Map of Sutwik Island D-5

About this map

Amber Bay and the coastal reaches of the Aniakchak River dominate this early 1960s survey of the Alaska Peninsula. The landscape is defined by its complex drainage systems, where the Cinder River and its North Fork meet the headwaters of Main Creek and Wiggly Creek. The coastal geography is meticulously charted, showing the protective reach of Cape Horn and Cape Ayutka alongside smaller landmarks such as Eagle I and Garden I. Further inland, the map captures the transition from high mountain terrain to the broad Tidal Flat of Aniakchak Bay. This topographical study reflects a wilderness before modern development, recording the natural waterways and coastal points like Goon and Nest that guided travel and identified the region's geographic character during this era.
