About this map

The Kejulik River snakes through an expansive lowland of marsh and lakes in this mid-century survey of the Alaska Peninsula. Positioned along the eastern shore of Becharof Lake, the landscape is defined by the massive water body and the complex drainage of the surrounding wetlands. The Severson Peninsula juts into the lake to the south, while the northern terrain rises into significant elevations drained by Marie Creek.

Evidence of seasonal or remote habitation is sparse, represented by a solitary Cabin located near the lake shore. This mapping, derived from 1951 aerial photography, captures the intricate hydrological network of Margaret Creek, Katrine Creek, and Teresa Creek as they flow from the highlands toward the coastal flats. The survey provides an essential record of this remote wilderness before modern changes, preserving the original names of the waterways that define the region's geography.
