2021 Map of Unimak C-3 SW

About this map

Cape Sarichef stands as the primary navigational and logistical anchor on this Aleutian landscape, where the Bering Sea meets the western edge of Unimak Island. The terrain is defined by distinct topographical markers such as Red Hill and the prominent coastal feature of Sealion Point. The presence of the Cape Sarichef Airport near the coast highlights the isolation of this region, serving as a vital link for transportation and supply in a landscape otherwise dominated by the natural features of Airplane Flats and The Sisters. This 2021 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey provides a precise record of the shoreline and elevation changes in a remote maritime environment, detailing the relationship between the coastal lowlands and the rising interior peaks during the early twenty-first century.
