1954 Map of Lake Clark C-3

About this map

Twin Lakes stretches across the center of this interior Alaska wilderness, serving as a primary corridor for the Chilikadrotna River which flows westward from the lower lake's outlet. The terrain is defined by deep glacial valleys and significant elevation changes, with the Kijik River and College Creek carving through the southern portion of the quadrangle. A historic Native Trail is mapped in the northwest corner, indicating established overland travel routes through the high country before the era of widespread aviation. Mapped by the Army Map Service using aerial photography from the late 1950s, the sheet documents a landscape of drainages and peaks where Portage Lake sits at the southern edge, connected to the broader river systems that define the Lake Clark region.
