1952 Map of Kodiak D-5

About this map

Uganik Bay and the surrounding coastline of the Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge are documented in this 1950s era survey. This maritime landscape is defined by the narrow waters of Uganik Passage and Noisy Passage, separating the large mass of Uganik Island from the main body of Kodiak Island. Local industry and transit are evident at the Village Islands, where a Cannery and Seaplane Base served as vital connections for this coastal community. The map details the complex shoreline from Cape Uganik in the north to the Northeast Arm, showing several isolated Cabin sites and significant coastal landmarks like Horseshoe Spit and Mesa Rocks. Inland, the terrain rises sharply from the Shelikof Strait to prominent heights, with Little River Lake and Montana Cr providing freshwater drainage into the salt lagoons.
