About this map

Cape Kazakof and the surrounding waters of Kodiak Island define this maritime landscape in the early twenty-first century. This survey documents a critical intersection of sea and stone, where the rugged coastline transitions from the sheltered waters of Marka Bay to the open stretches of the Eastern Passage. The nautical environment is further characterized by navigational hazards and coastal markers such as Skipwith Reefs and the prominent Stripe Rock, which sit within the tide-swept reaches south of Parrot Island. To the northeast, the shoreline extends toward Cape Kostromitinof, illustrating the complex coastal geometry of the Alaskan archipelago. The map serves as a contemporary record of these uninhabited landforms, providing precise topographic and hydrographic data for the numerous capes and passages that have long dictated the movement of vessels through these northern waters.
