1954 Map of Kodiak A-4

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Old Harbor serves as the primary coastal settlement on the southern reaches of Kodiak Island, situated where the mountains meet the deep waters of Sitkalidak Strait. This mid-century survey illustrates a landscape defined by maritime industry and subsistence, most notably at the Whaling Sta (Aban'd) near Port Hobron. The proximity of the Old Harbor Cem to the town site offers a localized point of interest for genealogists tracing families in this part of the Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge. Beyond the town, the coastline is deeply indented by fjords and inlets like Amee Bay and Natalia Bay, while Sitkalidak Island provides a protective barrier against the open Pacific Ocean. The presence of several Cabins scattered along McDonald Lagoon and Tanginak Anchorage suggests a seasonal pattern of hunting and fishing typical of the era.
