2021 Map of Kodiak D-6 NE

About this map

Shelikof Strait dominates this coastal survey, where the waters of the Gulf of Alaska meet the northwestern shores of Kodiak Island. The map focuses on a largely maritime environment, defined by the expansive waterway that separates the island from the Alaska Peninsula. Landfall occurs only in the southern portion of the quadrangle, where the terrain rises sharply at Miners Point. This prominent coastal feature serves as a primary navigational landmark along an otherwise open stretch of shoreline. The transition from the deep waters of the strait to the steep, contoured elevations at the coast highlights the maritime orientation of this region, which remains primarily defined by its natural geography rather than human settlement or infrastructure.
