1952 Map of Karluk C-2

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Kodiak Island along the Shelikof Strait reveals a landscape defined by its vital coastal waterways and the enduring settlement of Karluk. This mid-century survey documents the transition from the Karluk River into the Karluk Lagoon, a critical area for local geography and maritime access. To the north, Cape Uyak and Northeast Harbor mark the rugged coastline, while the interior is dominated by the Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge. The map captures essential transport infrastructure of the era, including a Landing Strip, a Seaplane Anchorage, and clustered Fuel Tanks near the village. Traces of smaller habitations such as Aluk and a solitary Cabin appear near the coast, alongside prominent surveying markers like VABM Karluk 2 1420. Further south, the mouth of the Sturgeon River terminates near Sturgeon Head, anchoring the southern reaches of the quadrangle.
