1949 Map of Kodiak D-2

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Kodiak Island reveals its rugged coastline and strategic maritime positioning in the late 1940s, a period marked by the significant presence of the U S Naval Reservation along the southern coastline. The settlement of Kodiak serves as the hub of activity, supported by the Municipal Airport and a nearby Seaplane Base, illustrating the area's reliance on air and sea transport. To the north, the village of Ouzinkie sits on Spruce Island overlooking the Ouzinkie Narrows, guarded by Ouzinkie Light. The landscape is dominated by high peaks like Mount Herman and Pyramid Mountain, while the intricate shoreline is dotted with numerous islands such as Woody Island and Near Island. This map documents a transitional era when coastal defenses and maritime industries shaped the development of these Alaskan island communities.
