1953 Map of Afognak A-0 and B-0

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Marmot Island and the eastern fringes of Afognak Island dominate this mid-century maritime survey, revealing a landscape defined by the relentless forces of the Gulf of Alaska. The terrain is characterized by steep coastal bluffs and high peaks such as Marmot and Kay, while the southwestern tip of the island features a unique Tidal Basin sheltered by Marmot Cape. On the adjacent Tonki Cape Peninsula, a solitary Light stands at Tonki Cape, marking a critical navigation point for vessels traversing Marmot Strait. Much of the peninsula falls within the Chugach National Forest, where the boundary is noted as approximate along the high ridges. This document captures the coastal geography prior to major changes in modern mapping, detailing offshore hazards like Sealion Rocks and the prominent headland of Cape St Hermogenes.
