About this map

Uganik Bay and Spiridon Bay dominate this coastal survey of Kodiak Island, revealing a landscape defined by deep glacial fjords and high peaks like Dog Ear Mtn. The map highlights the 1950s infrastructure of the Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge, featuring a Gaging Sta Cabin and a Campground near the shore. Commercial activity is represented by Saltery on the East Arm of Uganik, while the interior is characterized by freshwater systems including Uganik Lake and the Uganik River.

Insight into the region's wilderness management is visible through the AMNWR Boundary and designated Tidal Flat areas. Significant maritime landmarks such as Packers Spit, Mink Pt, and Edge Isle provide essential navigation points for the complex waterways surrounding Sally Island. The survey documents a moment when remote cabins and seasonal work sites were the primary human imprints on the coast.
