1951 Map of Iliamna A-3

About this map

Kamishak Bay dominates this coastal survey, where the Alaska Peninsula meets the intricate waters of the Cook Inlet region. The shoreline is defined by extensive Tidal Flats and specialized maritime hazards like Juma Reef, illustrating a landscape shaped by extreme tidal fluctuations. Along the southern coast, the Douglas River feeds into the bay near the eastern edge of the quadrangle, while Akumwarvik Bay provides a protected inlet to the west. Landmarks such as Nordyke Island and Chenik Head serve as primary navigational points for this unpopulated stretch of the Kenai Peninsula Borough. This 1951 photogrammetric record captures the coastal morphology before modern environmental shifts, showing a terrain devoid of roads or permanent settlements.
