1952 Map of Kaguyak D-6

About this map

Kaguyak sits as a primary point of human presence on this portion of the southeastern Kodiak Island coastline, situated at the entrance to Aguyak Bay. The landscape is defined by its complex maritime geography, where the Hepburn Peninsula divides the deep waters of Deadman Bay from the more sheltered Portage Bay. Smaller indentations like Humpy Cove and Seaborg Bay along the Alitak Bay coast suggest a shoreline shaped by both tidal action and glacial legacy. The map records several isolated Cabin sites and significant coastal markers such as Cape Kaguyak and Boot Pt. To the south, the Geese Channel provides a passage between the main island and the outer waters of the Pacific Ocean, while labels like Old Kaguyak Bay indicate the shifting locales of local habitation and maritime activity during this mid-century period.
