2021 Map of Afognak A-3 NW

About this map

Malina Bay serves as the central geographic feature of this wilderness study on Kodiak Island, where the sea deeply indents the northern coastline. The terrain is dominated by significant elevation changes, rising sharply from the saltwater inlets toward the heights of Afognak Mtn. This map provides a clear record of the island's topographic character in the early twenty-first century, showing a landscape defined by its glacial and marine history without any established settlements or road networks. To the southwest, Malka Bay opens toward the larger strait, while the interior is punctuated by freshwater bodies like Wognak Lake. The detailed contour work illustrates the complex drainage patterns of this subarctic environment, where small streams and wetlands feed the primary bays.
