2021 Map of Afognak C-2 SE

About this map

Shangin Bay and Andrean Bay deeply indent the western shoreline of this coastal stretch on Kodiak Island, illustrating the intricate marine geography of the northern archipelago. The terrain is characterized by a series of dramatic peninsulas and sheltered inlets, including the prominent Tetrakof Point which extends into the surrounding waters. Small, named landforms like Ermine Island and Little Fort Island dot the coastline, serving as critical landmarks for maritime navigation along the Gulf of Alaska. The interior landscape is defined by steep elevation changes and complex drainage patterns that feed into Back Bay at the northern edge. This 2021 update by the U.S. Geological Survey provides a precise record of these shifting coastal features and the underlying Public Land Survey System boundaries, including the intersections of t18s r19w and t19s r19w.
