1989 Map of Unalaska C-3

About this map

Makushin Volcano dominates this portion of Unalaska Island, rising above a complex landscape of glacial valleys and deep coastal inlets. This 1989 provisional survey, based on 1983 photography, captures the volcanic terrain before significant modern geothermal development. The northern coast is defined by Driftwood Bay and Point Tebenkof, where a remote Landing Strip provides one of the few points of access to the interior. The drainage systems of the Makushin River and Nateekin River carve through the island's center, while McLees Lake sits tucked near the eastern boundary. Distinctive maritime landmarks like Irishmans Hat and Priest Rock frame the approaches to Makushin Bay, illustrating the island's role as a navigational waypoint in the Bering Sea.
