1953 Map of Afognak A-5

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Raspberry Island and the surrounding maritime passages define this 1953 survey of the Kodiak archipelago. Situated at the convergence of the Shelikof Strait and Kupreanof Strait, the map highlights the western coastline of the island as it appeared shortly after the war. The topography, mapped via aerial photography, reveals the high ridges and steep coastal bluffs that drop into the Pacific. Navigational markers like Malina 2 Light at Malina Point and the prominent Raspberry Cape illustrate the importance of these waters for local shipping and fishing fleets. The northern coast is indented by Driver Bay, providing a look at the natural harbors used by mariners navigating between the mainland and the larger islands of the Gulf of Alaska.
