How to Use This King Cove, Alaska Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for King Cove, Alaska. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Alaska or beyond.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).
TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to King Cove.
Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

ZIP code: 99612.King Cove occupies a vast expanse of subarctic tundra where the horizon stretches indefinitely across a landscape defined by the quiet persistence of moss and lichen. It lies 619.3 miles southwest of Anchorage, AK (from Anchorage, AK: bearing 232°T). The terrain around King Cove rises into low, sweeping ridges that soften under the weight of an immense, pale sky, while the shadow of Mount Dutton looms nine miles to the distance, a silent sentinel over the plains. Four miles from the settlement, the waters of Delta Creek carve a path through the earth, a thin, silver ribbon of glacial melt that feeds the vitality of the local ecosystem. Every movement of the wind here carries the scent of damp soil and cold stone, a reminder of the raw, unadorned scale that defines this interior wilderness.
The Alaska Peninsula National Wildlife Refuge encompasses the entirety of the surrounding territory, serving as a sanctuary where the rhythm of life is dictated by the migrations of caribou and the slow turning of the seasons. Twelve miles away, the waters of Old Mans Lagoon hold the stillness of the high latitude, reflecting the shifting, bruised colors of a sun that lingers long before disappearing behind the jagged silhouettes of the interior. The economy of King Cove remains tethered to the land and the endurance of its inhabitants, who have adapted to the isolation of the bush with a pragmatic, quiet resolve. Life here moves with the measured pace of the seasons, where the arrival of the subarctic light signals a brief, intense period of growth, leaving the rest of the year to the stillness of the frost and the enduring presence of the raven.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
