1951 Map of Kaguyak

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Kaguyak sits on the southeastern edge of Kodiak Island, a remote coastal settlement positioned where the Aliulik Peninsula meets the northern reaches of the Pacific Ocean. This reconnaissance survey reflects the mid-century maritime landscape of the Third Judicial Division, focused on the intricate network of inlets and peninsulas that define this rugged coastline. Significant landmarks such as Hepburn Peninsula and Sitkinak Island delineate the passage of the Sitkinak Strait, while the interior is dominated by the Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge Boundary. Beyond the immediate shore, the map details the bathymetry of the Albatross Bank, highlighting the area's importance to deep-water navigation and fishing. The topography, compiled through photoalidade methods and trimetrogon photography, emphasizes the stark contrast between the sharp coastal peaks and the deep bays like Deadman Bay and Old Kaguyak Bay.
