About this map

Afognak stands at the southern edge of this mid-century survey, positioned where the Afognak River meets the protected waters of Afognak Bay. This coastal landscape within the Chugach National Forest is defined by its maritime economy and native heritage, evidenced by the presence of Aleut Village and Settlement Pt. The interior is dominated by freshwater systems, notably Afognak Lake, which feeds the river through a series of falls near Last Pt.

Landmarks such as Litnik Mountain and Afognak Mountain rise above the dense forest, providing navigational aids for the waterways of Raspberry Strait and Malina Bay. The mapping of a Recreation Camp and Hatchery Creek suggests a transition toward conservation and managed wilderness use during the early 1950s, while labels like Graveyard Pt preserve long-standing local toponyms of the Kodiak Archipelago.
