1963 Map of Sutwik Island D-5

About this map

Amber Bay and the coastal waters of the Alaska Peninsula dominate this early 1960s survey, revealing a landscape defined by braided river systems and dramatic headlands. The terrain is shaped by the Aniakchak River, which flows toward Aniakchak Bay past a significant Tidal Flat. To the north, the Cinder River and its various tributaries, including the aptly named Wiggly Creek and the North Fork, drain the upland slopes. This sheet is characterized by its coastal identifiers such as Cape Horn and Cape Ayutka, alongside small offshore features like Eagle I and Garden I. The lack of established roads or settlements emphasizes the remote, maritime nature of the region during this era of photogrammetric mapping.
