2020 Map of Unimak A-6 NE

About this map

Akutan dominates the southern reaches of this maritime survey, showcasing the volcanic terrain of the Aleutian Islands where the Bering Sea meets sheltered deep-water inlets. The topography is defined by significant elevations such as Anigaaxsix, with steep coastal cliffs dropping toward Sandy Cove and Akutan Harbor. This 2020 edition provides modern geographic nomenclature for indigenous landforms, including Sisxim-nuugii, Chixchan-qala, and Aatqaayang. The map reflects a landscape primarily shaped by its maritime orientation, where named features like Akutan Point and Ridge Point serve as critical navigational markers along the rugged northern coast of the island. The survey captures the remote character of the Aleutians East Borough, emphasizing the relationship between the mountainous interior and the surrounding waters of Akutan Bay.
