1949 Map of Kodiak C-1

About this map

Kodiak Island is defined here by the extensive US Naval Reservation occupying the Chiniak peninsula during the mid-century era. This strategic coastal landscape, surveyed shortly after the war, shows a network of roads and trails connecting Miller Field to the rugged points of the shoreline. The transition from the sheltered waters of Chiniak Bay to the open Gulf of Alaska is marked by prominent maritime landmarks like Cape Chiniak and Cape Greville.
