1963 Map of Sutwik Island

About this map

The Aleutian Range dominates the northwestern horizon of this maritime survey, where glacial runoff feeds into the Aniakchak River and eventually the Aniakchak Lagoon. This stretch of the Alaska Peninsula is characterized by a complex coastline of deep-water inlets and rugged headlands, including Amber Bay and Kujulik Bay. The map highlights the isolation of the region in the early 1960s, with only a solitary Cabin noted near the shore of Aniakchak Bay.
