About this map

Amalik Bay and the complex shoreline of Katmai National Park and Preserve dominate this mid-century survey. The coastline is defined by protected waters and deep inlets, including the branching Hidden Harbor and the sheltered Russian Anchorage. Within Amalik Bay, the prominent Takli Island sits amidst numerous smaller unnamed islands and rocks, signifying the intricate maritime navigation required in these coastal waters.

The landscape is strictly managed under the Katmai Wilderness designation, with the Wilderness Boundary and National Park and Preserve Boundary clearly delineated. Large Tidal Flat areas are visible at the heads of Geographic Harbor and Dakavak Bay, illustrating the dynamic tidal range of the Shelikof Strait. This map serves as a detailed record of the undeveloped wilderness before modern recreational infrastructure became more prevalent.
