2021 Map of Umnak A-3 SE

About this map

Nikolski sits at the heart of this landscape on Umnak Island, situated along the eastern reaches of the Bering Sea. This coastal environment is dominated by the steep ascent toward Mt Vsevidof to the northeast, where high-altitude contours reveal the volcanic character of the Aleutian Islands. The coastline is marked by significant maritime landmarks, including Cape Kigushimkada and the protected waters of Okee Bay. Moving inland, the terrain is cut by drainage systems such as Black Cr, which flows toward the southern coastal edge. This 2021 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates the isolated settlement patterns and dramatic elevation changes typical of the Fox Islands chain, providing a modern record of one of the most remote inhabited locations in the United States.
