1951 Map of Karluk D-4

About this map

Katmai National Monument dominates the northern half of this coastal survey, where the rugged terrain of the Alaska Peninsula meets the Shelikof Strait. The landscape is defined by massive peaks like Mt Kubugakli and Atmo Mountain, which tower over deeply indented waters. The boundary of the monument cuts diagonally across the center, separating protected lands from the southern reaches around Alinchak Bay. Along the shoreline, extensive Tidal Flats characterize the transition between the mountains and the sea, particularly within Kashvik Bay. A solitary Cabin near the coast provides a rare sign of human presence in this wilderness, while surveying markers such as VABM Kubugakli and coastal landmarks like Cape Kubugakli help orient travelers navigating the treacherous waters of Katmai Bay.
