2021 Map of Karluk C-2 SW

About this map

Shelikof Strait dominates this coastal survey, where the waters of the North Pacific meet the western edge of Kodiak Island. The shoreline is defined by dramatic landforms, most notably the prominent rise of Cape Karluk to the north and the blunt projection of Sturgeon Head further south. These features serve as significant navigational landmarks for a stretch of coast characterized by steep topographical gradients that drop sharply from interior highlands directly into the sea. The map provides a precise view of the complex coastal hydrology and the grid of the Public Land Survey System, including portions of township t31s r33w. The absence of developed roads or settlements highlights the isolation of this maritime landscape, where the geography is shaped entirely by the tide and the elevation of the island's interior.
