1952 Map of Gulkana B-6

About this map

The vast lake systems of the Susitna River headwaters dominate this 1950s terrain, where the expansive waters of Lake Louise and Susitna Lake meet a landscape of intricate small lakes and marshes. Surveyed shortly after the war, the map reveals a wilderness with minimal human footprints, characterized primarily by scattered Cabins along the western shore of Lake Louise. These remote structures suggest the early seasonal or subsistence use of the area before modern development reached this part of the interior. To the north and west, the terrain becomes increasingly complex with smaller water bodies like Tyone Lake, Little Lake Louise, and the isolated Grayling Lake. This map provides a detailed look at the hydrology and topographical relief of the region during a period when it remained largely accessible only by air or water.
