1954 Map of Kodiak B-5

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Kodiak Island topography is the primary focus of this mid-century survey, which reveals a complex landscape defined by high ridges and deep valleys. The entire land area shown is contained within the Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge, highlighting a period of federal management and conservation on the archipelago. Surveyed via aerial photography in the early 1950s, the map provides detailed elevation data for the interior mountains, which rise from coastal basins to summits exceeding 4,000 feet. The absence of named settlements or infrastructure on this sheet emphasizes the wilderness character of the central island interior during the post-war era, as researchers and outdoorsmen began to document the remote reaches of the Alaska-Third Judicial Division.
