About this map

Icy Peak stands as a prominent landmark in this mid-century coastal survey, overlooking a landscape defined by glacial activity and a complex shoreline along the Pacific Ocean. The terrain is marked by numerous crevasses and an unnamed Glacier that feeds toward Agripina Bay. This area of the Alaska Peninsula shows a wild, uninhabited expanse where the land meets the sea at dramatic points like Cape Kilokak and the sheltered waters of Port Wrangell.

Large tidal flats and several offshore islands, including David Island and Poltava I, dominate the hydrographic profile. The drainage patterns of the Agripina River and Kialagvik Creek illustrate how seasonal meltwater carves through the coastal mountains. This 1951 photogrammetric record preserves the coastline before minor revisions in the 1970s, offering a baseline for studying geological changes and coastal topography in the Lake and Peninsula region.
