1950 Map of Gulkana B-6

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Lake Louise and Susitna Lake dominate this 1950s interior landscape within the Matanuska-Susitna Borough. This survey, based on aerial photography from the era, reveals a complex aquatic network of smaller bodies including Little Lake Louise, Tyone Lake, and Mud Lake. The shoreline along the larger lakes shows early signs of human presence and recreation in the Alaskan wilderness, specifically at Kadok Landing and the Twin Spruce Lodge. A Landing Strip and designated Picnic Area near Lake Emily highlight the area's role as a destination for bush pilots and outdoor enthusiasts. Further inland, numerous smaller lakes like Grayling Lake, Tabert Lake, and Lily Lake are scattered across the terrain, connected by unnamed marshes. This map provides a detailed view of the region's hydrology and the emerging points of access that shaped early exploration and settlement in this part of Alaska.
