1949 Map of Kodiak C-2

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

US Coast Guard Res dominates the coastline of Kodiak Island in the years following World War II, establishing a significant military presence along the shores of Womens Bay. The interior landscape is defined by the sharp elevations of Heitman Mountain and Kashevaroff Mtn, where the American River and Olds River carve through the coastal range toward Kalsin Bay. This survey captures a pivotal era of infrastructure development, showing the Kodiak Island Highway and Saltery Cove Road providing overland access to once-isolated shorelines. The map details vital maritime and aviation facilities, including the Military Airport and Military Seaplane Base near Nyman Peninsula, reflecting the strategic importance of the region's geography during the mid-20th century.
