2021 Map of Karluk C-1 SE

About this map

Kodiak Island topography dominates this 2021 study, characterized by the winding course of the Karluk River as it traverses the western portion of the quadrangle. The map captures a significant coastal indentation at Larsen Bay, where the shoreline meets steep interior elevations. While much of the landscape remains roadless, the presence of the Landfill Access Road near the bay suggests localized infrastructure supporting the nearby community. The transition from the river valley to the surrounding peaks illustrates the traditional hydrology of the region, emphasizing the importance of the river system to the local geography. This survey provides a clear view of the island's interior and coastal interface before more recent environmental shifts, serving as a baseline for understanding the remote terrain and its drainage patterns.
