2021 Map of Afognak B-3 SW

About this map

Ban Island dominates the central topography of this coastal survey, situated within the remote waters of the Shelikof Strait. The landform is nearly bisected by the deep indentation of Paramanof Bay to the south, while the northern coastline is defined by the smaller inlet of Foul Bay. This map illustrates a landscape of extreme vertical relief, where steep slopes rise abruptly from the shoreline to high interior ridges. The absence of roads or established settlements emphasizes the wilderness character of the region, where transportation is dictated entirely by maritime access and the protected natural harbors found along the convoluted coastline of the Kodiak Archipelago.
