1958 Map of Iliamna B-2

About this map

Augustine Volcano dominates this mid-century topographic survey of the volcanic landscape within Cook Inlet. The map details the conical profile of Augustine Island, an active volcanic peak surrounded by the waters of Kamishak Bay. On the western shoreline of the island, a lone Cabin and a networked Tractor Trail suggest a modest human presence or seasonal activity in this otherwise geologically driven environment. Along the mainland coast to the northwest, landmarks like Rocky Cove and Tignagvik Pt define the rugged coastline. The inclusion of several vertical angle bench marks, such as VABM West Augustine and VABM Burr, indicates the precise surveying efforts required to chart this dynamic terrain during the late 1950s.
