Topography
OMINATO
TOPOGRAPHY
Kamabuse Mountain, a conical 2,881 ft (878 m) volcanic peak, dominates the local landscape (Figures V-185 and V-186). The peak of the mountain lies less than 3 nmi west of the mouth of Tanabu River. The remainder of the terrain west and northwest of Mt. Kamabuse is rugged, with many peaks exceeding 2,625 ft (800 m). With the exception of Mt. Kamabuse, the terrain immediately adjacent to the port of Ominato is mostly low-lying. Elevations northeast of the port are less than 328 ft (100 m) across the approximate 7 nmi wide strip of land that separates Mutsu Bay from the east end of Tsugaru Strait. Maximum elevations within 10 nmi east and southeast of the port are limited to less than 984 ft (300 m) except for one peak that reaches 1,112 ft (339 m).
