About this map

Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge boundaries define this coastal expanse of the Kodiak Archipelago, where the interior peaks of Kodiak Island and Afognak Island meet the complex shorelines of the Shelikof Strait. The topography is dominated by high-elevation landmarks such as Devilpaw Mountain and Dome Peak, which overlook a deeply recessed coastline featuring Devils Bay, Foul Bay, and Blue Fox Bay.

Evidence of human presence in this wilderness is sparse, centered on a lone Cabin located near Devil Inlet. The map details the intricate island networks of the northern coast, naming features like Hogg Island, Bear Island, and Teck Island. From the aquatic expanse of Paramanof Bay to the inland waters of Hidden Lake and Esther Lagoon, this 1950s survey documents a landscape focused on natural preservation and marine geography before later modern developments or administrative shifts.
