1951 Map of Iliamna A-5

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Battle Lake and the high drainage basins of the Paint River dominate this interior Alaskan landscape as it appeared during aerial surveys in the early 1950s. The map illustrates a complex network of waterways, including McNeil River and several distinct forks that feed into the larger river systems. Glacial activity is suggested by the presence of moraines and uniquely shaped water bodies like Spectacle Lake and Mirror Lake, while Pilot Knob serves as a prominent navigational landmark amidst the unnamed peaks. This survey captures a wild, unpeopled region where the only human-assigned names belong to the natural features themselves, such as Pirate Lake and Crevice Creek, indicating the primary focus of early mappers on identifying topographic obstacles and water resources for future exploration or resource assessment.
