About this map

Shelikof Strait dominates the northern expanse of this coastal study, where the waters of the North Pacific meet the northern shores of Kodiak Island. The shoreline is defined by the long stretch of Sevenmile Beach, leading eastward toward the sheltered waters of Uyak Anchorage. This maritime landscape reflects the isolation and topographical complexity of the Alaskan coast, with the small landmass of Bear Island situated just offshore. Inland, the terrain rises sharply from the coast toward the summit at Uyak, showing the steep transition from sea level to the high ridges of the interior. The map captures a largely undeveloped wilderness where the primary features are the named coastal reaches and the natural harbors that have historically provided refuge for vessels navigating the strait.
