2021 Map of Kodiak B-4 SE

About this map

Kiliuda Bay dominates this coastal landscape on the southeastern side of Kodiak Island, its deep waters forming a significant break in the steep, island terrain. The survey captures a topography defined by sharp elevation changes along the shoreline, where Coxcomb Point and Pivot Point serve as the primary named landmarks marking the entrance and transitions of the bay. This 2021 update from the U.S. Geological Survey reflects a region largely shaped by its marine environment rather than human development, focusing on the intricate drainage patterns and coastal features that have historically influenced navigation and fishing in these Alaskan waters. The map is a vital tool for understanding the natural boundaries of the Public Land Survey System, illustrating how township and range lines like t33s r24w intersect with the unpredictable shoreline.
