About this map

Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge and the southern tip of Kodiak Island dominate this coastal survey, showcasing the maritime landscape of south-central Alaska during the mid-20th century. The settlement of Akhiok stands near the entrance to Alitak Bay, which branches into Moser Bay, Olga Bay, and Deadman Bay. The map highlights the isolation of these islands, with transportation facilities like the Seaplane Landing at the refuge and the Center Landing Strip on Sitkinak Island serving as vital links.

Remote outposts are marked by Cabins on Chirikof Island and the smaller Aiaktalik Island. The intricate shoreline features significant landmarks such as Cape Alitak and Low Cape, while the waters of Sukhoi Lagoon and Russian Harbor hint at the historical Russian influence in the region. To the south, the massive expanse of the Pacific Ocean surrounds the Trinity Islands, including the large, low-lying Tugidak Island and its prominent Tidal Flat.
