1954 Map of Afognak A-2

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Afognak Island reveals its complex maritime and mountainous geography in this mid-century coastal survey. The island landscape is dominated by the steep rises of Paramanof Mountain and Duck Mountain, both situated within the Chugach National Forest. Evidence of early industrial and subsistence activity is found at the Hatchery near Kitoi Bay and several small Cabin sites along the intricate shoreline. The maritime environment is exceptionally detailed, recording numerous hazards such as Shipwith Reefs, Big Rock, and Stripe Rock within the waters of Marmot Bay. Geographers can trace the distinct indentations of the coast from the deep waters of Kazakof Bay to the smaller inlets of Mary Anderson Cove and Selezen Bay, providing a clear view of the island's isolation and its reliance on the surrounding sea in the 1950s.
