Dark Island and the neighboring Starr Rocks sit within a coastal corridor defined by the transition between the Gulf of Alaska and Shelikof Strait. This maritime-focused survey, produced by the U.S. Geological Survey in 2021, documents the navigational waters of the Dark Passage and the southern reaches of Cook Inlet. The map illustrates the bathymetric and topographic relationship between these small, isolated landmasses and the surrounding marine environment, where land and sea intersect along the Kodiak Island Borough coastline. Without roads or settlements, the map provides a clear record of natural maritime features and nautical boundaries important for northern seafaring.
