1952 Map of Karluk B-3

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Kodiak Island meets the turbulent waters of the Shelikof Strait in this mid-century survey, documenting a coastline defined by prominent headlands and sheltered bays. The western edge of the Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge dominates the landscape, where peaks like Grant and Ikolik rise sharply from the Pacific. Evidence of the island's coastal economy is visible in the isolated Cannery and various scattered Cabins located near Middle Cape and Halibut Bay. Navigational hazards and landmarks are intricately detailed along the shore, from the jagged Tombstone Rocks to the low-lying Mushroom Reef. This survey captures the maritime and wilderness character of the island before more modern developments, showing the relationship between the rugged topography and the essential shoreline settlements that served the local fishing and hunting culture.
