2021 Map of Afognak B-2 NW

About this map

Port William sits along the northern edge of this coastal survey, overlooking the complex waters of Shuyak Harbor and Port Lawrence. This map illustrates the transition from the open waters of the Gulf of Alaska to the intricate, sheltered inlets of the northern Kodiak Archipelago. The landscape is defined by its deep maritime indentations, including Redfox Bay, Bluefox Bay, and the expansive Big Waterfall Bay to the southeast. Much of the northern terrain is occupied by Shuyak Island, separated from the mainland mass by the narrow Shuyak Strait. Navigational landmarks like Lighthouse Point and the high elevation of Red Peak serve as primary points of orientation in a region where the shoreline is the dominant geographic feature, reflecting the area's isolation and reliance on seafaring for transport and commerce.
