1957 Map of Iliamna

About this map

Iliamna Lake dominates this mid-century survey, surrounded by isolated settlements and roadhouses that served as critical links in the Alaskan interior. To the north, Nondalton and Fish Village sit along Sixmile Lake, while the shoreline of the great lake is dotted with established locales like Newhalen, Iliamna, and Seversens Roadhouse. This era precedes modern infrastructure, relying instead on a Native Trail and the complex water systems of the Tazimina River and Kakhonak Bay. The map records a landscape of transition where the State Game Sanctuary and Katmai National Monument meet the sea at Cook Inlet. Further east, the volcanic activity of Augustine Island stands prominently in Kamishak Bay, marking the dramatic geological boundary of the Aleutian Range near coastal outposts like Chenik and Amakdedori.
