1989 Map of Unalaska D-3

About this map

Unalaska Island meets the expanse of the Bering Sea along this northern stretch of the Aleutian chain. This 1980s era survey documents the maritime approach to the island's coastal geography, focusing on the indented coastline between Wislow Cape and Cape Cheerful. The topography is marked by small coastal features and landmarks such as Wislow Island and Reese Bay, which provide natural anchorages along the rocky shore. The presence of specific named landmarks like Bar, Bell, and Skum suggests significant maritime navigation points or coastal features identified by the Geological Survey during this provisional mapping effort. While much of the interior remains unmapped in this specific quadrangle, the survey captures the intersection of land and sea at names like Noxon and Fid, preserving the exact nomenclature used by agencies during the late twentieth century.
