1950 Map of Kodiak D-3

About this map

Whale Island and the surrounding straits form the center of this coastal study, illustrating the complex maritime geography of the northern Kodiak archipelago. Surveyed just after the war, the map details the critical waterways of Kupreanof Strait and Afognak Strait, which served as vital corridors for coastal navigation. The terrain is marked by deep inlets like Kizhuyak Bay and Sharatin Bay, where names like Settler Cove and Barabara Cove hint at the human history of the shoreline. To the north, the boundary of the Chugach National Forest encompasses Raspberry Island and several smaller landmasses like Little Raspberry Island. The intricate coastline is meticulously charted, featuring numerous points such as Nochlega Point and Chernof Point, which provided essential landmarks for the fishing and transport vessels of the mid-century era.
