1952 Map of Kaguyak

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Kodiak Island's southern coastline and the expansive maritime reaches of the Pacific Ocean define this 1950s survey. The landscape is dominated by the complex shoreline of the Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge, featuring deep inlets like Deadman Bay and Alitak Bay. The small settlement of Kaguyak sits on the shore of Kaguyak Bay, representing a rare point of human habitation in a region of high coastal bluffs and offshore islands. To the south, the Trinity Islands group includes Sitkinak Island, separated from the mainland by the Sitkinak Strait. This map provides significant hydrographic detail for the offshore Albatross Bank, showing the underwater topography that was essential for navigating these northern waters. The presence of a solitary Cabin and the naming of remote landmarks like Shag Bluff and Twoheaded Island illustrate the isolated character of the Alaskan coast during this period.
