1952 Map of Kodiak B-6

About this map

Uyak Bay and the central corridor of Amook Island dominate this coastal landscape within the Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge. The 1952 field survey documents a maritime and resource-based economy where early aviation and mining intersect. A Seaplane Base is positioned on the western shore of Amook Bay, serving as a critical transport link for the remote camps and industrial sites scattered throughout the terrain. Traces of human activity are evident in the Mine (Aband) and various Ruins near Fork 2, reflecting the cycles of extraction and abandonment common to the region's history.
