About this map

Unimak Island stands as a testament to the wild, maritime character of the Aleutians in the late 1980s, dominated by the peaks of the Tugamak Range and the vast Aleutian Islands Wilderness. This 1989 edition shows a landscape defined by its coastal hazards and hydrography, from the hazardous Slime Bank in the Bristol Bay to the exposed Oksenof Beach along the Bering Sea.

Insight into the island's drainage is visible through the intricate paths of Winding Creek and Nipper Creek, which flow through terrain marked by landmarks like Cape Mordvinot and Cave Point. The map provides a detailed look at the island's isolation, noting distinct features like Shishkof Pond and the sheltered Nipper Cove amidst a region where no roads or trails were recorded at the time of the 1983 aerial photography.
