1951 Map of Afognak D-6

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

The Douglas River winds through this northern reach of the Alaska Peninsula, a landscape defined by its protected status under the Katmai National Park and Katmai Wilderness designations. The map, based on 1951 aerial photography and updated in 1983, shows a territory of high elevations and drainage patterns largely untouched by permanent settlement or road infrastructure. A significant portion of the southeastern sector is dominated by the massif of Fourpeaked Mountain, which rises as a primary navigational landmark. The presence of the Wilderness Boundary reflects late-20th-century conservation efforts established by the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act. This survey preserves a view of the Kenai Peninsula Borough's western margins at a time when the federal government was formalizing the preservation of these coastal watersheds and volcanic peaks.
