About this map

The U S Coast Guard Reservation dominates the southern landscape of this 1980s Alaskan survey, situated between the high peaks of the interior and the shoreline infrastructure. The Kodiak Airport serves as a focal point for transportation near Lake Louise and the Buskin River, while the Anton Larsen Road provides a critical overland link across the island toward Larsen Bay. Dramatic elevation changes define the region, with Pyramid Mountain, Barometer Mountain, and Erskine Mountain forming a formidable backdrop to the coastal activities.

Local infrastructure is evident through the presence of Radio Towers, a Substation, and a Gravel Pit near the airfield. The hydrology of the area is represented by Buskin Lake and numerous drainage systems including Bear Creek and the Cloud River. This provisional map captures the island's strategic and logistical layout during a period of established military and civil aviation presence on Kodiak Island.
