1949 Map of Kodiak D-1

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Woody Island and Long Island anchor this hydrographic and topographic study of the coastal waters where the Gulf of Alaska meets the Pacific Ocean. Based on 1947 aerial photography and 1949 field checks, the map captures a network of maritime aids and geographical landmarks essential for mid-century navigation. Small freshwater bodies like Elephant Lake on Woody Island and Dolgoi Lake on Long Island sit in contrast to the surrounding saltwater reefs and bays. Notable navigational features include Hamin Rocks Light and prominent Radio Towers, which served as vital coordinates for vessels moving through these northern waters. The map details a landscape defined by offshore hazards like Williams Reef and Hutchinson Reef, reflecting the region's reliance on precise maritime charting during the post-war era.
