1953 Map of Afognak A-4

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Afognak Island and its neighbor, Raspberry Island, dominate this early 1950s coastal survey, separated by the winding channel of Raspberry Strait. The landscape is defined by the sharp elevations of Chugach and the 2,385-foot Cloud Peak, illustrating the maritime-dependent settlement pattern of the era. On the eastern shore of Raspberry Island, the coastal outposts of Port Vita and Port Wakefield stand as primary points of human activity, likely serving the local fishing industry. The interior is largely untouched, characterized by the Upper Malina Lake and Lower Malina Lake systems feeding into Malina Bay. Navigational markers like the Light near Dolphin Pt and various tidal benchmarks reflect the critical nature of these waterways for transport between She likof Strait and Kupreanof Strait.
