2021 Map of Afognak B-1 SW

About this map

Afognak Island exhibits a landscape defined by dramatic coastal indentations and interior freshwater bodies. This coastal region is bounded by the expansive Seal Bay to the north and the deep waters of Izhut Bay and Saposa Bay to the south. The interior terrain is marked by numerous small lakes and wetlands, most notably Laura Lake and Gretchen Lake. The absence of developed roads or named settlements reflects the remote nature of this wilderness area within the Kodiak Archipelago. Surveyed by the U.S. Geological Survey, the map reveals a complex hydrographic system where isolated lakes are separated by narrow ridges, illustrating the transition from open maritime environments to the island's interior basins.
