1954 Map of Lake Clark A-8

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Swan River and the Chulitna River wind through a complex system of ponds and wetlands in this 1950s survey of the Lake and Peninsula region. The landscape is defined by its lack of human infrastructure, showing no roads or established trails at the time of the photogrammetric mapping. Key navigational landmarks are sparse, dominated by the water systems and the prominent feature labeled Buck. The survey documents a wilderness environment where the North Fork Swan River meets the main channel, providing a primary record of the untouched hydrology before later 20th-century developments. The survey also indicates the precise location of the Base Line, a fundamental surveying marker for the region's land management.
