1951 Map of Sutwik Island

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

The Aleutian Range dominates the rugged coastline of the Alaska Peninsula, where the Aniakchak River and Meshik River carve through the volcanic landscape toward the Pacific Ocean. This 1951 reconnaissance map details a remote maritime environment punctuated by coastal landmarks like Cape Kumlik and Foggy Cape. To the south, the isolated Semidi National Wildlife Refuge encompasses a chain of islands including Aghiyuk Island and Chowiet Island, while the namesake Sutwik Island sits prominently offshore in the Chignik Bay region. The presence of a solitary Cabin near Aniakchak Bay and numerous triangulation stations like VABM 964 Sut underscores the era's ongoing survey efforts in this sparsely inhabited territory. These markers provide crucial reference points for understanding the early mapping of Alaska's maritime wilderness.
