1952 Map of Karluk A-1

About this map

Kodiak Island is defined by its deeply indented shoreline and glacial lake systems in this mid-century survey. The central Olga Bay dominates the landscape, connected to the outer waters via the Olga Narrows. Commercial activity is centered on a Cannery at Cannery Creek, supported by a dedicated Seaplane Airport, reflecting the maritime and aerial transportation network necessary for remote Alaskan industry. Inland, the map details significant freshwater resources such as Frazer Lake and Akalura Lake, which feed into salmon-rich corridors like the Dog Salmon River. The terrain is marked by prominent coastal features like Stintz Bluffs and Splitrock Pt, while the southern reaches of the quadrangle are anchored by Luchek Mountain and the deep waters of Deadman Bay.
