About this map

Kakhonak Lake dominates the northern reaches of this coastal Alaskan landscape, its waters flowing via the Kakhonak River toward the intricate coastline of Kakhonak Bay and Sid Larson Bay. This mid-century survey captures a transition point between the interior lakes and the tidal flats of Kamishak Bay. In the southeast, the settlement of Amakdedori sits near the mouth of Amakdedori Creek, representing one of the few named habitation points in the region.

The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, most notably the peaks of the Seven Sisters rising within the Kenai Peninsula Borough. The map details a complex hydrographic network, including Venturi Lake and Dunaivikak Creek, illustrating the natural drainage patterns that shaped early access to the area. A lone Cabin and the expanse of Bruin Bay further signify the remote and water-dependent nature of life on the peninsula during the 1950s.
