1951 Map of Karluk C-6

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Becharof Lake and its surrounding drainage systems dominate this mid-century Alaskan survey, where the interior wilderness meets the coastal indentations of the Shelikof Strait. The landscape is defined by the proximity of the Pacific to the freshwater of the lake, separated by a series of steep drainages such as Becharof Creek and Salmon Creek. Human presence is minimal and functional, marked by a remote Cabin on Island Bay and a Landing Strip situated along the coastal flats. This era of mapping captured the area before widespread modern development, showing the natural state of inlets like Dry Bay and Jute Bay. Navigational landmarks such as Cape Kanatak and Cape Unalishagvak anchored the shoreline for maritime activity, while Jute Peak served as a prominent inland reference point for those navigating the rugged Aleutian Range foothills.
