2021 Map of Umnak B-2 SE

About this map

Umnak Island's western coastline meets the Bering Sea in this topographic study, revealing a landscape defined by deep coves and sharp volcanic headlands. The map documents several named indentations along the coast, most notably Cemetery Cove and Hot Springs Cove, which suggest historic human activity or geothermal features in this maritime environment. High-relief features such as Cape Kigunak and the prominent Steeple Point overlook the complex shoreline of Inanudak Bay. This 2021 survey also records indigenous place names like Qigunam-tugumaga and Qmalgaagus Kadaa, providing essential data for those studying the linguistic and geographic history of the Aleutian archipelago. The offshore bathymetry is signaled by the Inanudak Canyon, illustrating the dramatic undersea drop-offs characteristic of the region.
