1949 Map of Kodiak B-1 and B-2

About this map

Kodiak Island meets the Gulf of Alaska along a complex coastline of deep bays and prominent headlands in this late 1940s survey. The landscape is defined by its maritime geography, from the protected waters of Pasagshak Bay to the marshy expanse of Barry Lagoon. Inland, the terrain rises sharply to summits like Shaft Pk, while numerous freshwater bodies such as Lake Rose Tead and Twin Lakes sit just behind the shorelines. This map captures the region after a 1947 aerial survey, documenting the natural state of the coastline near Narrow Cape and Portage Bay before modern development. It offers a clear view of the island's hydrography and relief, including offshore features like Ugak Island and the small Long Island cluster within Ugak Bay.
