1954 Map of Iliamna B-6

About this map

Iliamna Lake dominates the northern horizon of this mid-century survey, its expansive shoreline punctuated by the prominent rise of Eagle Bluff. The landscape inland transitions into a complex network of drainage and low-lying wetlands, characterized by the winding courses of Dennis Creek and Belinda Creek. This 1954 field-annotated map provides a look at the region's early aviation and navigation infrastructure, most notably the isolated Landing Strip positioned southwest of Big Mountain. The terrain is further defined by distinctive geological features like Peters Plug, offering a clear view of the unsurveyed and unmarked land lines as they were predetermined by the Bureau of Land Management during the post-war era of Alaskan mapping.
