About this map

Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge encompasses the entirety of this interior and coastal landscape, where the waters of Uganik Bay and Spiridon Bay reach deep into the mountainous heart of the island. The survey captures a complex network of glacial fjords and freshwater bodies, notably Uganik Lake and Spiridon Lake, connected by drainage systems like the Uganik River. The shoreline detail includes specific coastal features such as Packers Spit and Weasel Cove, providing essential data for those studying the island's maritime history and conservation boundaries.

Mountainous terrain is dominated by named peaks such as Dog Ear Mtn and Helmet Mtn, which rise sharply from the Tidal Flat areas. A solitary Gaging Sta on the river indicates the early scientific monitoring of these remote waterways during the mid-century period. This map serves as a primary record of the island's geography before significant modern infrastructure, focusing on the natural topography of the South Arm and East Arm.
