1952 Map of Kodiak A-5

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Kodiak Island is home to the early Russian-era settlement site at Three Saints Bay, which remains a prominent maritime feature in this 1950s-era topographic study. The map documents a landscape defined by deep fjords and narrow passages, such as Sitkalidak Strait separating the main island from Sitkalidak Island. The label for Nunamiut (Aband) serves as a significant genealogical marker, indicating a former settlement on the western shore of the bay. The intricate coastline is dotted with smaller inlets like Barling Bay and Newman Bay, while hazardous waters are noted at Tallapoosa Shoal. This era of mapping was conducted via photogrammetry, capturing the shoreline of the Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge before modern development altered the remote maritime character of the borough.
