2021 Map of Kodiak C-3 SW

About this map

Crown Mtn stands as the dominant topographical feature in this coastal section of Kodiak Island, overlooking a complex system of drainage and glacial carving. To the south, the terrain descends sharply toward the shoreline of Ugak Bay and the low-lying Hidden Basin, where the transition from alpine heights to marine influence is most pronounced. The drainage of Wild Creek (labeled as Wild Cr in its upper reaches) defines the primary valley system, cutting through the island's interior. This 2021 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey utilizes high-resolution SPOT imagery to map the intricate network of wetlands and seasonal watercourses that characterize this undeveloped landscape. The absence of roads or permanent settlements underscores the isolation of this region, where the Public Land Survey System grids out townships like t30s r23w across an environment defined by elevation and water.
