About this map

Katmai National Park encompasses the northern coastal reaches of this 2019 survey, where the Alaska Peninsula meets the Pacific Ocean. The coastline is defined by the sheltered waters of Kinak Bay and the specialized maritime geography of Russian Anchorage, a named refuge tucked behind the headlands. These features illustrate the natural harbors that have historically served as critical stops for coastal navigation and local fishing fleets along the Shelikof Strait.

Further south, the archipelago character of the region is anchored by Takli Island, which sits amidst a scatter of unnamed islets. This terrain, terminating at Cape Atushagvik, remains largely primitive and unpeopled, focused on the transition from the protected waters of the bays to the open sea. The map provides a clear record of the modern boundaries for Public Land Survey System townships, including t24s r32w and t24s r31w, marking the intersection of federal conservation and maritime survey.
