1952 Map of Afognak A-5

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Raspberry Island marks the eastern boundary of this mid-century survey, where the island's steep, mountainous terrain drops sharply into the surrounding waters. Based on aerial photography and hydrographic data from 1952, the map illustrates the maritime landscape at the confluence of the Shelikof Strait and Kupreanof Strait. The western coastline of the island is clearly defined by prominent features such as Raspberry Cape and Malina Point, where the Malina 2 Light serves as a critical aid for navigating the approach to Driver Bay. This sheet reveals the geological character of the Kodiak Island Borough before more modern infrastructure, focusing on the natural contours and bathymetric depths that dictated the movement of vessels through these Alaskan channels.
