1954 Map of Iliamna D-7

About this map

The Koktuli River winds through this subarctic wilderness, carving a complex path through a landscape defined by glacial lakes and tundra. Surveyed in the mid-1950s using aerial photography, this region is dominated by the prominent peaks of Kashaiyak Mtn and Sharp Mtn, which rise above a network of unnamed streams and wetlands. The absence of roads or trails on this sheet emphasizes the remoteness of the terrain during the post-war era. Notably, the land lines shown represent unsurveyed locations predetermined by the Bureau of Land Management, reflecting the early stages of formal territorial organization before many of these areas were field-checked.
