1947 Map of Kodiak D-3

About this map

Port Lions sits on the western shore of Settler Cove, serving as a focal point for maritime activity in this coastal region of Kodiak Island. The map illustrates a developed waterfront including the Wakefield Wharf, a Seaplane Landing, and a Power Sta, reflecting the infrastructure required for remote Alaskan settlements. The landscape is defined by the narrow maritime corridors of Kupreanof Strait and Whale Passage, which separate large landmasses such as Whale Island and Raspberry Island. Significant portions of the territory are managed under federal protections, including the Afognak National Forest and the Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge. From the peaks of Sharatin Bay to the inlets of Kizhuyak Bay, the map details a world where the sea is the primary highway, punctuated by distinctive landmarks like Ilkognak Rock and Talnik Point.
