About this map

Industrial maritime activity centers on the Port Bailey Cannery along the northeastern shore of the Kupreanof Peninsula. This 1952 survey, updated with 1980s hydrographic data, captures the intersection of commercial fishing and wilderness within the Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge. The landscape is dominated by deep glacial fjords and narrow waterways like Uganik Passage and Terror Bay, providing protected routes for local vessels.

Evidence of remote coastal life appears in the various cabins and a Seaplane Base tucked into the inlets. While much of the interior is defined by summits like Kupreanof Mountain, the shoreline reveals small-scale operations including a Mine near the passage. Navigational landmarks such as Outlet Cape and Perenosa Pt guide the way through Kupreanof Strait, separating the main landmass from Raspberry Island.
