About this map

Wood-Tikchik State Park dominates this mid-century survey, showcasing the intricate glacial lake systems of southwestern Alaska before modern development. Large bodies of water including Lake Beverley, Nerka Lake, and Lake Kulik are connected by short, powerful waterways like the Agelukpak R. The landscape is a network of drainage systems where Moose Creek, Spider Creek, and Hope Creek feed into the larger basins.

Evidence of human presence is sparse but specific, noted by a lone cabin near the shore of Nerka Lake and the survey marker Uss 4703. The eastern portion of the map transitions into the Kokwok River and Okstukuk Lake drainage, illustrating the complex hydrography that defines the Togiak and Nushagak regions. These 1950s observations, later updated with minor revisions, provide a foundational view of the area's wilderness character.
