2019 Map of Karluk C-4 NW

About this map

The vast expanse of the Pacific Ocean dominates this maritime survey, illustrating the remote coastal waters within the Kodiak Island Borough. The map captures a largely aquatic landscape where the seafloor and sea surface intersect with the rugged western coastline of Kodiak Island. The presence of the Alaska Kodiak Island Borough boundary line cutting through the open water provides a rare visual of how maritime jurisdictions are plotted across the North Pacific. Sparse terrestrial features on the western edge of the sheet highlight the isolation of this region, where the primary topographic interest lies in the coastal shelf and the transition from the open sea to the rocky Alaskan shoreline.
