1952 Map of Afognak

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

The rugged coastlines of Afognak National Forest and the Katmai National Monument dominate this mid-century survey of the northern Kodiak Archipelago. Focusing on the intricate waterways of Shelikof Strait and Cook Inlet, the map documents the remote settlements and seasonal outposts of the era, including Afognak, Katenai, and Aleut Village. A distinct inland Hatchery and the Anyak Radio Communication Center on Shuyak Island highlight the localized government and communication infrastructure supporting this maritime region. This topographical record provides a look at the landscape before many modern changes, showing the deep-water indentations of Izhut Bay and Malina Bay as well as the prominent peaks of Mt Douglas and Fourpeaked Mountain across the strait on the Alaska Peninsula.
