1952 Map of Karluk

Conservation boundaries and resource management are significant features of this survey, with the Katmai National Monument boundary running along the northern peninsula and the Karluk Refuge protecting the interior lakes. Significant water bodies like Becharof Lake, Karluk Lake, and Fraser Lake dominate the terrain, connected by the Ayakulik River and various streams. The presence of a Cannery Trap and the Fish and Wildlife Service Upper Station highlights the importance of the local salmon industry during the early 1950s.
