1989 Map of Unimak A-3

About this map

Ugamak Island and the rugged shores of Tigalda Island anchor this maritime survey within the Aleutians East Borough. This subarctic landscape is defined by the convergence of the Bering Sea and the Pacific Ocean, separated by the treacherous waters of Unimak Pass and Ugamak Strait. Much of the land area shown, including smaller islets like Aiktak Island, Round Island, and Kaligagan Island, is protected under the Aleutian Islands Wilderness designation. The map illustrates a strictly natural topography devoid of roads or trails, where the land meets the sea at sheltered points like Ugamak Bay and Tigalda Bay. It provides a precise view of these isolated islands of the Fox Islands and Krenitzin Islands groups as they were documented in the late twentieth century.
