1952 Map of Afognak C-2 and C-3

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Shuyak Island dominates this northern maritime landscape of the Kodiak Archipelago, where a labyrinth of inlets and passages meets the open waters of the Shelikof Strait. The coastline is defined by complex seafaring landmarks like Party Cape and Eagle Cape, while the surrounding waters are punctuated by hazardous clusters such as Latax Rocks and Starr Rocks. The northern edge of the island is deeply carved by Wonder Bay and Western Inlet, protected from the Stevenson Entrance by Dark Island. This topography suggests a territory shaped by the sea, where interior access was likely entirely dependent on tidal waterways like Carry Inlet and Skiff Passage. To the south, Shuyak Harbor and Neketa Bay provide sheltered anchorages amidst a landscape devoid of roads or trails, as it appeared when photogrammetric methods first mapped this region in the early 1950s.
