About this map

Chiniak sits at the northeastern edge of Kodiak Island, where the modern Chiniak Highway skirts the coastline from Pony Point to Chiniak Point. This coastal landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the mountainous interior of the Marin Range to the shoreline of Isthmus Bay and the Gulf of Alaska. The interior terrain is marked by significant elevations like Boyer Peak and Slope Peak, with drainage systems like the Sacramento River and Weisser Cr cutting through the valleys.

A cluster of celestial-named water bodies—Neptune, Uranus, Saturn, Jupiter, and the Hidden Lakes—occupies the highland area south of Sawmill Lake. This nomenclature contrasts with the local geographic naming conventions found elsewhere on the map, such as Sequel Point and Twin Peaks. The map provides a clear look at the drainage patterns of Chiniak River and Roslyn Cr as they feed into the northern bays.
