1952 Map of Kodiak D-5

About this map

Kodiak Island National Wildlife Refuge dominates this mid-century coastline, reflecting a landscape defined by federal preservation and the rhythms of the sea. The geography is characterized by deep fjords and inlets, most notably the wide reach of Uganik Bay and the narrow Uganik Passage that separates large landmasses. The presence of the Village Islands and various coastal markers like Starr Pt and Cape Uganik suggests a reliance on maritime navigation for movement across this roadless terrain. Inland, features like Little River Lake and Campbell Lagoon break the mountainous interior, illustrating the complex hydrology of Kodiak Island before later modern developments. This survey captures the remote character of the Aleutian Range foothills and the intricate shoreline of the Shelikof Strait.
