1954 Map of Dillingham B-7

About this map

Aleknagik serves as a primary settlement point in this mid-century look at the Bristol Bay region, where the Wood River system meets the southeastern edge of the Wood-Tikchik State Park. The landscape is dominated by the massive Lake Nerka and the surrounding drainages of Stovall Creek and Pike Creek. Evidence of local aviation and wilderness access is visible near the settlement, where a Landing Area and Landing Strip are noted alongside Mosquito Point. The interior terrain rises sharply into the Muklung Hills and toward Marsh Mountain, providing a detailed look at the complex hydrology of the Muklung River and Iowithla River before they reach the main river valley. This survey provides a record of the area's infrastructure, including scattered Cabin locations, just as the state park system was being established in the following decades.
