About this map

Kodiak Island and its jagged southern coastline are the central focus of this coastal topographic study. The map illustrates the land-and-water interface where the steep, interior ridges of the island descend toward the Gulf of Alaska, characterized by prominent maritime landmarks like Cape Barnabas. The marine geography is defined by the Sitkalidak Strait, which separates the main landmass from neighboring features.

Small, offshore navigational markers such as Table Island and Barnabas Rock appear in the northern waters. This modern survey, produced by the U.S. Geological Survey using recent elevation data, reveals the uninhabited and unroaded nature of this specific quadrant of the archipelago. The absence of settlements or infrastructure highlights the isolation of this maritime environment at the edge of the Pacific.
