1954 Map of Lake Clark A-4

About this map

Port Alsworth sits as the primary settlement on this mid-century survey, positioned strategically at Hardenburg Bay along the eastern shore of Lake Clark. The map documents a nascent transportation infrastructure, specifically a Landing Field near Tanalian Point, which served as a vital link for this remote community before the expansion of modern road networks. The geography is defined by a series of significant inland water bodies and river systems, including the Tanalian River and the connected basins of Upper Tazimina Lake and Lower Tazimina Lake. Rising above the settlement, Tanalian Mountain dominates the local topography, situated between the main lake and Kontrashibuna Lake. This map captures the region when land lines remained largely unsurveyed and unmarked, reflecting the early administrative state of what would later become part of the Lake and Peninsula Borough.
