1952 Map of Kodiak A-6

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Deadman Bay dominates the center of this coastal survey, cutting deep into the southwestern reaches of Kodiak Island within the Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge. The map details a landscape where steep peaks like Grayback Mountain drop sharply to the water, separated by narrow inlets and lagoons. Along the western edge, Horse Marine Lagoon and Horse Marine Lake drain into Olga Bay via Marine Stream, indicating the complex coastal hydrology of the Moss Peninsula. The area is largely devoid of permanent development, marked only by isolated cabins and numerous triangulation stations like Hellen and Cat, which served as critical points for the early 1950s photogrammetric mapping. This era of surveying predates modern infrastructure, showing the island as a series of distinct peninsulas, including Hepburn Peninsula, where Sulua Bay and Kaiugnak Bay provide shelter from the open sea.
