About this map

Kakhonak Lake and its outlet, the Kakhonak River, dominate the northern portion of this Alaska Peninsula landscape during the mid-1950s. The region is largely unpopulated, with a single Cabin noted near Kakhonak Bay. This survey provides a record of the remote terrain before modern development, marking the site of Amakdedori (Site) on the southern coast where Amakdedori Creek meets Kamishak Bay.

The landscape is defined by its water systems, from the inland Venturi Lake to the tidal flats of Bruin Bay and the sheltered waters of Sid Larson Bay. The elevation is punctuated by the Seven Sisters peaks, while drainage is facilitated by smaller waterways like Dunulutak Creek. This map captures a specific moment in the geography of the Kenai Peninsula Borough, documenting the exact placement of coastal sites and interior landmarks prior to 1970s revisions.
