1954 Map of Kodiak A-5

About this map

Nunamiut (Aban'd) sits on the western shore of Three Saints Bay, marking a significant point of human history on the southeastern coast of Kodiak Island. This mid-century survey reveals a maritime-oriented landscape where the deep indentations of Barling Bay and Kaiugnak Bay define the shoreline. The topography is largely contained within the Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge, emphasizing the preserved character of the terrain. Across the Sitkalidak Strait, the northern portion of Sitkalidak Island is visible, including the Natalia Peninsula and Newman Bay. Navigation features such as Tallapoosa Shoal and John Island highlight the importance of coastal waters, while the southern reaches open into the broad expanse of Rolling Bay. The map provides a detailed view of the complex hydrology, from the small Annulu Creek to the various unnamed glacial lakes and high-elevation peaks that dominate the island's interior.
