1952 Map of Afognak

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Afognak and Raspberry Island anchor this coastal survey, where the intricate shoreline of the Chugach National Forest meets the open waters of the Gulf of Alaska. The map documents a maritime landscape defined by isolated settlements and navigational markers, including the Shuyak Radio Communication Center and a Lighthouse near Tonki Cape. Across Shelikof Strait, the Alaska Peninsula presents the glaciated heights of Mt Douglas and Fourpeaked Mountain within the Katmai National Monument. Local heritage is preserved in the location of the settlement at Kaguyak (Aband) and the Graveyard near Ouzinkie. The network of waterways, from Raspberry Strait to Izhut Bay, reflects a reliance on coastal transport and fishing, with interior features like Afognak Lake and Hatchery Peak indicating early resource management and inland terrain character.
