1951 Map of Karluk D-6

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

The Becharof Lake shoreline dominates this 1950s study, showcasing the hydrological network of the Becharof National Wildlife Refuge. The map reveals a landscape defined by the winding Kejulik River and its numerous tributaries, including Margaret Creek and Katrine Creek. Human presence is sparse, marked primarily by isolated structures like the Marie Cabin near the mouth of Marie Creek and another Cabin situated along the lower Kejulik. These small outposts suggest the seasonal and remote nature of activity in the area before the formal establishment of the Becharof Wilderness. Along the western edge, the Severson Peninsula juts into the lake, featuring the geodetic marker VABM Severson 490. This survey provides a baseline for the region’s topography before the legislative changes of the 1980s redefined these lands as federally protected wilderness.
