About this map

Afognak Bay and the surrounding wilderness of the Afognak National Forest define this 1950s landscape on the northern reaches of the Kodiak Archipelago. The map identifies the coastal community of Afognak, situated near Aleut Village and Settlement Pt, reflecting a time of established maritime life before later environmental shifts altered the region. The interior is dominated by the waterway system of Afognak Lake and the Afognak River, which includes a noted Covered Bridge and a Recreation Camp at the lake's edge.

Industrial and natural landmarks such as Hatchery Peak and Hatchery Creek suggest the area's long-standing connection to local fisheries. To the south, the survey captures the narrow passage of Raspberry Strait, separating Afognak Island from the northern tip of Raspberry Island. High peaks like Paramanof Mountain and Litnik Mountain provide a dramatic backdrop to the complex coastline of bays, reefs, and passages.
