1952 Map of Afognak C-2 and C-3

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Shuyak Island dominates this 1952 topographic study, showing a complex coastline of deep-water inlets and protective harbors on the northern edge of the Kodiak Archipelago. The map captures the intricate geography of the northern reaches of Shelikof Strait and Stevenson Entrance, where maritime safety relied on prominent landmarks like Latax Rocks and Dark Island. The interior is defined by a network of waterways including Carry Inlet and Skiff Passage, which segment the landmass into a labyrinth of points and bays. At Big Fort and along the shores of Shuyak Hbr, the map records the natural anchorages and coastal features essential for navigation in these waters. This survey reflects the mid-century wilderness before modern development, detailing a landscape where every cape, such as Party Cape and Eagle Cape, served as a vital waypoint.
