1954 Map of Iliamna B-4

About this map

Kakhonak Lake dominates the northern reaches of this coastal Alaskan landscape, its waters feeding into the Kakhonak River as it flows toward Kakhonak Bay. The terrain transitions from the marshy lowlands surrounding Venturi Lake to the prominent peaks of the Seven Sisters in the northeast. This 1950s-era survey, revised in the mid-1970s, documents a remote wilderness within the Kenai Peninsula Borough where human presence is sparse. Researchers will find the Amakdedori (Site) near the mouth of Amakdedori Creek on the shores of Kamishak Bay, marking an area of historical significance. Other signs of activity are limited to a lone Cabin and the wide expanse of the Bruin Bay Tidal Flat, illustrating the intersection of freshwater drainage systems like Dunnulak Creek with the saltwater inlets of Sid Larson Bay.
