1987 Map of Kodiak C-2 NW

About this map

The US Coast Guard Reservation dominates the northeastern shoreline of this late 20th-century survey, securing the strategic deep-water access points around Womens Bay. The landscape transitions from the coastal infrastructure of the Nyman Peninsula to the dramatic elevations of the Eddys Range and Kashevaroff Mountain. This area shows a complex intersection of federal maritime land use and high-latitude wilderness, where the American River and Russian Creek drain into the sound. Notable for local historians are the numerous family-named landmarks and water bodies, such as Panamaroff Creek and Beaver Lake, which suggest a long history of local navigation and land usage. The map also delineates US Survey 2539, providing a record of cadastral boundaries amidst the rugged terrain of Old Womens Mountain and Zaimka Ridge.
