1954 Map of Iliamna B-6

About this map

Iliamna Lake dominates the northern expanse of this 1950s landscape, meeting a shoreline defined by the prominent Eagle Bluff. This interior Alaskan region, as surveyed just after the mid-century, reveals a wilderness largely shaped by its hydrology and high-relief terrain. To the south, the boundary of the Katmai National Preserve marks a transition into protected lands, where the peaks of Big Mountain and Vabm Amna overlook a complex network of wetlands and tundra. Evidence of mid-century aviation and regional access is grounded in the presence of a solitary Landing Strip situated near the western edge. Notable geological landmarks like Peters Plug and the drainages of Dennis Creek and Belinda Creek provide essential navigation points for those tracing the historical geography of the Lake and Peninsula area.
