About this map

Akutan Island dominates this 1980s topographic survey, showcasing the maritime landscape of the eastern Aleutians. The island's complex shoreline is defined by deep inlets such as Akutan Harbor and Hot Springs Bay, where steep terrain meets the waters of the Akutan Bay and the Bering Sea. To the south, Sarana Bay and Broad Bight face the Pacific Ocean, separated by the prominent Battery Point and Liberty Cap. This map documents a period before significant modern changes, recording the exact placement of navigational aids like the Light at North Head and Akutan Point. The landscape is characterized by its high volcanic peaks and coastal features, including Vulcan Point and Slide Talus Point, providing a detailed view of the island's geography within the Aleutians East Borough.
