1951 Map of Afognak C-6

About this map

The Katmai National Monument boundary stretches across this coastal landscape, revealing the transition from the mountainous interior to the waters of the Shelikof Strait. During this era of mid-century mapping, the document records two primary human outposts that had already slipped into the past, marked as Kaguyak (Aban'd) and Swikshak (Aban'd). These sites represent the difficult balance of life on the edge of the Alaska Peninsula, where the Big River and Swikshak River flow through glacial valleys into the sea.
