1952 Map of Afognak

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Afognak Island and the northern reaches of the Kodiak Island Borough dominate this maritime survey, illustrating the complex geography of the archipelago during the mid-20th century. The settlement of Afognak sits at the southern edge, while northern outposts like Port Vita and the Shuyak Radio Communication Center on Shuyak Island indicate the era's reliance on coastal navigation and military-telecommunications infrastructure. Across the Shelikof Strait, the mainland coast is defined by massive ice features including the Spotted Glacier and Fourpeaked Glacier, descending from peaks like Mt Douglas. The map documents a landscape of essential waterways, from the narrow Raspberry Strait to the wide Stevenson Entrance, which historically served as the primary transit corridors for local fishing and transport between the islands and the mainland.
