1952 Map of Afognak A-1

USGS Topo · Published 1992

About this map

Afognak Island reveals its jagged eastern shoreline in this 1952 study, defined by deep indentations and prominent headlands. The terrain is dominated by the heights of Edge Mountain, which overlooks the convergence of Tonki Bay and King Cove. This area of the Kodiak Island Borough is largely preserved within the overlapping boundaries of the Chugach National Forest and the Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge. The map details a complex maritime environment where Izhut Bay and Marmot Bay meet, providing critical data on depth curves and shoreline features such as Pillar Cape and Peril Cape. This data, compiled from aerial photography and hydrographic charts of the early 1950s, documents the coastal character of the region before modern development or environmental shifts.
