1954 Map of Dillingham C-8

About this map

Golden Horn Lake and Beverley Lake dominate this mid-century topographic portrait of the Alaskan interior, showing a landscape defined by water and high peaks. The 1954 annotations identify essential hubs of remote activity such as the Golden Horn Lodge and a nearby Seaplane Anchorage on Mitchalk Lake, which highlight the importance of air travel in this roadless region. Significant portions of the terrain fall within the Wood River Tikchik State Park, where the Wood River Mountains rise to landmarks like Akuluktok Peak. Numerous bays and inlets, including Silver Horn, Hardluck Bay, and Anvil Bay, break the massive shorelines, while smaller cabins along the Peace River and Joe Creek signal the presence of trappers, hunters, or seasonal residents in the wilderness.
