1949 Map of Kodiak B-1 and B-2

About this map

Kodiak Island shorelines meet the open waters of the Gulf of Alaska in this survey based on aerial photography from the late 1940s. The landscape is defined by the deep indentations of Pasagshak Bay and Portage Bay, where the coastal topography rises sharply to landmarks like Shaft Pk and Pyramid. Inland water bodies such as Lake Rose Tead and Lake Miam sit just behind the coastal points, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of the eastern island. Near Narrow Cape, a small Landing Strip and Barry Lagoon suggest the limited but vital infrastructure supporting this maritime environment. The presence of Ugak Island across the channel from Gull Point further emphasizes the fragmented, island-dotted nature of the Kodiak Island Borough coastline before more modern developments took root.
