1952 Map of Karluk B-1

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Karluk Lake dominates the central landscape of this interior Kodiak Island survey, serving as a critical nexus for the region's wilderness hydrology and early research infrastructure. As the entire land area is within the Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge, the map reveals a terrain defined by seasonal activity and biological study rather than permanent towns. Along the eastern shore of the lake, the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service maintained a presence near the Camp I Seaplane Base, highlighting the importance of aerial access in this roadless environment. Numerous drainage systems including the Karluk River, Sturgeon River, and Moraine Creek flow through the valleys, while isolated Cabins and a Cabin near Stony Pt mark the few points of human habitation. The topographic detail captures a complex network of points and creeks, such as Grassy Pt and Halfway Creek, which provided essential landmarks for navigators and researchers in the mid-20th century.
