About this map

Katmai National Monument dominates this coastal landscape as it appeared in the mid-20th century, defined by a series of deep glacial fjords opening into the Shelikof Strait. The intricate coastline is punctuated by prominent headlands like Cape Gull and Cape Kuliak, protecting secluded waters such as Kaflia Bay and Kuliak Bay.

Evidence of small-scale settlement is concentrated at Atushagvik, located near Cape Atushagvik in the southern portion of the sheet. The terrain transitions from high, unsurveyed peaks down to expansive Tidal Flats and Missak Bay. This survey represents the region before major modern shifts in status, preserving the 1950s baseline for the monument's coastline and the remote outposts that dotted the Aleutian Range foothills.
