2019 Map of Afognak C-6 SE

About this map

Katmai National Park encompasses the northern coastline of this 2019 survey, where the Swikshak River meets the sea. The landscape is defined by the transition from the steep, unnamed coastal peaks into the Swikshak Lagoon, a sheltered tidal environment at the river's mouth. Moving offshore into the Pacific Ocean, the map documents several distinct maritime landmarks including the Shakun Islets and the elongated form of Shakun Rock. This topographic study by the U.S. Geological Survey provides a precise view of the Kodiak Island Borough shoreline, showing the intricate boundary between protected national park lands and the open water. The lack of roads or settlements emphasizes the wilderness character of this remote Alaskan coastal reach, where surveying focus remains on the natural hydrography and terrain.
