About this map

Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge encompasses a vast portion of this mid-century survey, revealing the remote geography of Kodiak Island before modern developments. The coastal outpost at Port O'Brien stands as the primary hub of human activity, supported by a Seaplane Base and Fuel Tanks on the shore of the Uganik passage.

The landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the saltwater of Terror Bay to high alpine elevations, culminating at Mount Glottof. The drainage systems of the Uganik River and Terror River carve through the mountains, connecting inland water bodies like Uganik Lake and Terror Lake to the sea. This map captures the area as it was recorded in the early 1950s, serving as a primary reference for the historical boundaries and natural features of the refuge.
