1952 Map of Afognak A-4

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Afognak Island and Raspberry Island are separated by the narrow, protected corridor of Raspberry Strait in this early 1950s survey. The map documents a maritime landscape defined by isolated outposts and the fishing industry of the era, centered on locations like Port Wakefield and the abandoned site of Port Vita (Aband). A Seaplane Base on the eastern shore of Raspberry Island highlights the critical role of aviation for transportation in this remote coastal environment. Within the Chugach National Forest, the terrain rises to summits like Cloud Peak, while drainages like Malina Creek feed from Upper Malina Lake and Lower Malina Lake into the deep waters of Malina Bay. The intricate coastline is further marked by Onion Bay and Selief Bay, providing insight into the natural harbors that shaped human activity on the islands.
