1954 Map of Afognak B-3

About this map

Afognak Island and Ban Island define this coastal landscape on the edge of the Shelikof Strait in the mid-1950s. The area is dominated by the steep elevations of Devilpaw Mountain and Dome Peak, highlighting a coastline deeply indented by glacial or maritime forces. Within the Chugach National Forest, the map identifies a solitary Cabin near Devil Inlet, suggesting the extreme isolation of this maritime wilderness. The intricate shoreline features numerous small islands such as Teck Island, Hogg Island, and Bear Island tucked within Bluefox Bay. This survey captures the topographical complexity of the archipelago, from the treacherous waters of Foul Bay to the interior waters of Hidden Lake and the coastal marshes of Esther Lagoon.
