1954 Map of Dillingham C-8

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

Lake Beverley and Lake Nerka dominate this sub-arctic landscape, where massive bodies of water are carved into the earth by glacial activity and surrounded by prominent heights like the Frog Mountains. Based on photogrammetric methods from 1957 and field annotations from 1954, the map reveals a wilderness that relied on the Peace River to connect these major lakes. While largely uninhabited, the presence of a few scattered cabins along the water's edge at Ott Bay and the river banks suggests the seasonal movement of trappers or hunters through this remote terrain. Prominent landmarks such as Akuluktok Peak and Elbow Point served as essential navigation markers for those traveling by boat or on foot. The intricate shorelines of Hardluck Bay and Anvil Bay further illustrate the complex hydrology of this region before any modern development altered the drainage patterns of the Golden Horn or Silver Horn.
