1957 Map of Iliamna

About this map

Lake Iliamna dominates this landscape, serving as a massive freshwater hub connecting the interior wilderness to Cook Inlet via the Kvichak River. This mid-century survey reveals a network of indigenous and pioneer sites, including Iliamna, Nondalton, and Newhalen, along with historic locations like Old Iliamna and Fish Village. The map captures the reliance on rugged overland routes such as the Native Trail and a Tractor Trail that links Williamsport on the inlet to Pile Bay Village on the lake.
