1952 Map of Kaguyak

About this map

The southeastern shoreline of Kodiak Island meets the massive depths of the Albatross Bank in this early 1950s survey. The landscape is defined by the Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge, where the rugged coast is fractured into numerous inlets including Deadman Bay, Portage Bay, and Kaguyak Bay. Near the small settlement of Kaguyak, several Cabin sites are noted, providing a record of human presence in this maritime environment. Further south, the Trinity Islands group, including the large Sitkinak Island with its prominent Cape Sitkinak, sits across the Sitkinak Strait. The map highlights the contrast between the high peaks of the Hepburn Peninsula and the expansive, submarine features of the Pacific Ocean floor, offering essential data for maritime navigation and coastal study in the Territory of Alaska.
