Introducing the NOAA Chart 16580, which covers the stunning regions of Kodiak Island and Southwest Anchorage, including Chirikof Island. This chart, measuring 21 inches by 27.94 inches, is designed in a small format for your convenience. Our small format charts are especially crafted to be proportionately scaled down, making them an ideal choice for planning your next maritime journey.

It’s important to note that these charts are not printed to full size; therefore, the scale does not match that of the full-size NOAA chart. However, the scale bars included on the chart are proportionately reduced, allowing for easy reference during your planning. Keep in mind that while these charts are excellent for planning purposes, they are not recommended for navigation. It is crucial to adhere to the fact that small format charts do not meet the authorized carriage requirements.
