1958 Map of Kenai C-8

About this map

Lake Clark National Monument encompasses a significant portion of this late 1950s terrain, showing a wilderness defined by glacial activity and drainage systems before the area gained national park status. The landscape is dominated by the Double Glacier in the northeast, where the presence of numerous crevasses indicates an active and shifting ice mass. These glacial waters feed into prominent drainage networks including the Tlikakila River and the Drift River. This period of surveying, based on mid-century aerial photography, documents the untouched topography of the Alaska Range without the roads or trails common in more settled regions. The map serves as a primary record of the glacial extent and river braiding patterns that have since evolved through natural environmental shifts.
