1951 Map of Iliamna B-6

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Iliamna Lake dominates the northern horizon of this mid-century topographic study, where the shoreline is defined by the prominent Eagle Bluff. The interior landscape reveals a complex network of small ponds and wetlands typical of this Alaskan terrain, rising sharply into significant elevations. Two primary survey stations, Big Mountain VABM 2161 in the west and VABM Anna 2830 in the southeast, provide the high-altitude control points for this 1951 aerial survey. Notable drainage features like Dennis Creek cut through the lower elevations, illustrating the natural water runoff patterns from the surrounding peaks toward the Great Lake. The lack of roads or established settlements at the time of mapping emphasizes the wilderness character of the region during the 1950s.
