1949 Map of Kodiak D-1

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

The maritime approaches to Kodiak Island are defined by a complex archipelago and dangerous offshore hazards as they appeared in the late 1940s. Centered on the meeting of the Gulf of Alaska and the Pacific Ocean, this chart details the significant islands guarding the harbor entrance, including the substantial landmasses of Woody Island and Long Island. These islands are marked by freshwater features like Elephant Lake and Dolgoi Lake, which stood in contrast to the surrounding saltwater bays. Navigation aids and maritime safety are prominent themes, evidenced by the presence of Hanin Rocks Light and several hazardous shoals like Williams Reef and Hutchinson Reef. The map also captures early telecommunications infrastructure with Radio Towers located near the northern coast of Woody Island, while the shoreline of Spruce I to the north shows landforms like East Cape and Ostrof Point.
