About this map

Maritime activity and coastal industry define this 1952 topographic study of the western shore of Kodiak Island. The settlement at Larsen Bay serves as a primary hub of activity, featuring a Cannery, a Seaplane Base, and a Cem alongside essential infrastructure like a Tank and Radio Towers. The intricate coastline, part of the Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge, is punctuated by numerous Cabins and navigational landmarks such as Chief Pt and Hook Pt.

Hydrographic details reflect the importance of these waters for local commerce, with the Uyak Anchorage sheltered by Harvester Island and the expansive Spiridon Bay providing deep-water access. Inland, the rugged terrain is marked by survey points like VABM 1059 Ridge and a network of small streams and lagoons, including Browns Lagoon. The map preserves the functional layout of a mid-century Alaskan fishing and cannery outpost before later modernization.
