1951 Map of Iliamna A-4

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

The coastal settlement of Chenik (Abnd) sits as an abandoned outpost on the shores of Kamishak Bay in the early 1950s. This survey, compiled from 1951 aerial photography, captures the intricate transition between the Aleutian Range and the tidal waters of the Alaska Peninsula. The landscape is defined by the convergence of major waterways, including the McNeil River and the Little Kamishak River, which snake through alluvial valleys before emptying into the expansive Tidal Flats of McNeil Cove. Topographical detail highlights prominent landmarks such as Chenik Mountain and Middle Mountain, while the jagged coastline is punctuated by sheltered inlets like Amakdedulia Cove and Pinkidulia Cove. The map provides a precise record of the shoreline before the Great Alaska Earthquake of 1964, documenting the position of Chenik Head and McNeil Islet as they existed mid-century.
