About this map

Kitoi Bay and its complex, indented shoreline define the eastern edge of this coastal landscape on Afognak Island. The terrain is dominated by steep coastal elevations, most notably at Duck Mtn, which rises above a series of freshwater bodies including Little Kitoi Lake and Big Kitoi Lake. These lakes are geographically significant as they sit just inland from the saltwater of the bay, illustrating the unique hydrologic transitions common to the Kodiak Archipelago.

To the south, the coastline opens into Mary Anderson Bay and Selezen Bay, areas where the maritime environment and the mountainous interior meet. The lack of road infrastructure in this 2021 survey emphasizes the wilderness character of the region, where access remains primarily dependent on the sea and air. The map serves as a precise record of the island's natural drainage patterns and topographical boundaries during the early twenty-first century.
