2021 Map of Kodiak A-5 SW

About this map

Kaiugnak Bay and Kiavak Bay dominate the coastal topography of this section of Kodiak Island, where deep inlets cut into the high relief of the Alaskan shoreline. The terrain is defined by steep, unnamed ridges rising abruptly from the water's edge, creating a landscape of narrow coastal strips and significant vertical elevation. The drainage of Aunulu Cr flows southward from the northern peaks toward the protected waters of the bays. This 2021 survey reveals a territory almost entirely devoid of human infrastructure, focusing instead on the precise natural contours and hydrography that characterize the undeveloped reaches of the island. The grid lines of the Public Land Survey System, including t35s r27w and t36s r28w, overlay these coastal features, providing a legal framework for a wilderness defined by its maritime boundaries and interior heights.
