About this map

The waters of Karluk Lake and Frazer Lake dominate this interior portion of Kodiak Island as recorded in the early 1950s. This survey shows the remote wilderness entirely within the Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge, where transport and conservation activity centered on the Camp I Seaplane Base on the eastern shore of Karluk Lake. An administrative presence is marked by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service station, situated near several points like Island Pt and Tree Pt.

The landscape is defined by a dense network of drainages including the Karluk River, Sturgeon River, and Meadow Creek. A few isolated Cabins near Spring Cr represent the only recorded permanent structures in the quadrangle. For researchers of Alaskan history or conservation, these 1950s observations capture the territory prior to the statehood era, documenting the natural hydrology and essential aviation outposts of the island's interior.
