1951 Map of Afognak D-5

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

The sprawling ice fields and volcanic peaks of Katmai National Monument dominate this mid-century topographic survey. Centered on the massive profile of Mt Douglas, the landscape is defined by the high-elevation Spotted Glacier and numerous unnamed fields of Crevasses. This portion of the Alaska Peninsula shows a transition from glacial heights down to the coastal waters where Kamishak Bay and Cook Inlet meet the northern reaches of the Shelikof Strait. The map provides a detailed look at the coastline before it was heavily impacted by later seismic events, showing features like the Tidal Flat and the small indentation of Sukoi Bay. The intricate contour lines illustrate a terrain shaped entirely by natural forces, with no human settlements or structures recorded in this rugged segment of the monument.
