1951 Map of Karluk C-6

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

S H E L I K O F S T R A I T borders this stretch of the Alaska Peninsula, where a complex network of coastal inlets and steep ridges defines the landscape in 1951. The topography is marked by significant drainages such as Salmon Creek and Bear Creek, which cut through the high ground between the coast and the inland reach of Becharof Lake. Along the shoreline, deep indentations like Island Bay and Jute Bay are protected by landmarks such as Pinnacle Rk and the Jute Islands. A few isolated structures, simply labeled Cabin, appear near the water's edge, suggesting seasonal or resource-based habitation in an area primarily defined by its hydrography and natural landmarks like Jute Peak. The mapping of Dry Bay reveals an extensive Tidal Flat, illustrating the dynamic maritime environment before later geological changes or modern development altered these remote reaches.
