About this map

The Akhiok settlement on the southern reaches of Kodiak Island stands as the primary inhabited point in this maritime survey, situated near the mouth of Alitak Bay. The landscape is dominated by the sprawling Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge, where the terrain rises to Tungulara Mountain before descending toward the intricate coastlines of Deadman Bay and Sukhoi Lagoon. This 1954 edition, updated with 1980s data, details the remote Trinity Islands, including the extensive tidal flats of Tugidak Island and the prominent Sitkinak Dome on its neighbor, Sitkinak Island.

A separate inset focuses on the isolated Chirikof Island far to the southwest, noting land features like West Point and South Cape. The presence of several cabins and a cabin near the Sukhoi Lagoon area suggests seasonal or subsistence activity within this federally managed wilderness. Navigational landmarks such as Whirlpool Point and Nagai Rocks emphasize the treacherous nature of these North Pacific waters.
