2021 Map of Unalaska A-5 NW

About this map

Chernofski sits as a primary point of human settlement on this remote Aleutian landscape, characterized by a series of deeply inset coastal features along the Bering Sea. The maritime character of the area is defined by the sheltered waters of Chernofski Harbor and the smaller Mailboat Cove, suggesting a reliance on seasonal or periodic vessel access. The topography is marked by distinctive coastal landmarks such as Asses Head and Ranchers Point, which overlook the expansive Station Bay. These named points and coves, including Mutton Cove and Observatory Point, indicate a history of coastal navigation and localized land use in this specific corner of the Unalaska region. The map provides a detailed view of the shoreline and the land-water interface at a time when these isolated harbors remained critical nodes in the Aleutian chain.
