1952 Map of Afognak A-3

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Afognak and the nearby Aleut Village anchor the southern coast of this 1952 topographic study of the Kodiak Island Borough. The landscape is defined by the significant hydrological system connecting Afognak Lake to the sea via the Afognak River, a corridor that also features a Recreation Camp and Hatchery Creek. The rugged coastline is deeply indented by Malina Bay to the north and the complex waters of Afognak Bay and Raspberry Strait to the south. This era of mapping shows the established boundaries of the Afognak Island National Forest, where high elevations like Paramanof Mountain and Litnik Mountain overlook the maritime settlements. Genealogists and historians can identify specific coastal landmarks such as Settlement Pt, Graveyard Pt, and several small islands including Lamb I and Alexander I that shaped the fishing and subsistence life of the region before significant late-century changes.
