1951 Map of Karluk C-4 and C-5

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Puale Bay and the turbulent waters of the Shelikof Strait dominate this coastal survey along the Alaska Peninsula. The topography, derived from 1950s aerial photography, reveals a landscape defined by sharp coastal points like Cape Aklek and Cape Kekurnoi, with substantial Tidal Flats bordering the northern reaches of the bay. Inland, the terrain is marked by seasonal and permanent waterways including Teresa Creek, Kati Creek, and Dry Creek. Though largely uninhabited, the presence of a Cabin near the coast and a primitive Trail suggest the movement of trappers or indigenous Alaskans through this maritime environment. High-elevation survey marks, such as VABM Klek and VABM Akek, provide essential reference points for navigation and mapping along this remote coastline.
