1954 Map of Lake Clark B-8

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

The Mulchatna River and Chilchitna River define this corner of the Alaskan interior as it was documented in the mid-1950s. The landscape is characterized by a complex network of braided river channels and glacial meltwater features, with significant high ground rising toward an Overlook in the central eastern portion of the quadrangle. While largely wilderness, the presence of Cabins along the northern bank of the Mulchatna River suggests early-century habitation or seasonal use by hunters and trappers. In the southern reach, Keefer Creek winds through a dense field of small kettle lakes and wetlands, illustrating the post-glacial drainage patterns typical of this region. Mapping here relied on photogrammetric methods from aerial surveys conducted by the Army Map Service, documenting a vast, unsurveyed territory where land lines were predetermined by the Bureau of Land Management rather than marked on the ground.
