1949 Map of Kodiak B-3

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

The industrial and maritime activity of mid-century Kodiak Island is concentrated along the deeply recessed shoreline of Shearwater Bay, where the Kodiak Fisheries Cannery and a dedicated Seaplane Base served the region's commercial fishing fleet. The complex coastline is defined by several major inlets, including Ugak Bay to the north and the expansive Kiliuda Bay to the south. While much of the interior is dominated by high, unnamed peaks, specific coastal landmarks like Observation Point and Pillar Point provided essential navigation for vessels moving toward the Gulf of Alaska. Signs of shifting settlement patterns appear at Eagle Harbor (Aband), reflecting the ephemeral nature of remote outposts in this era. The southwestern portion of the map encompasses protected lands within the Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge, indicating the early establishment of conservation boundaries in the territory.
