1954 Map of Lake Clark C-4

About this map

The Mulchatna River and Chilikadrotna River converge in this remote Alaska interior landscape, surveyed during the mid-1950s. The terrain is defined by its complex waterway network, including the Little Mulchatna River and College Creek, which drain the glacial valleys and uplands. A rare trace of human passage is found in the Native Trail, which skirts the southern portion of the quadrangle, indicating established travel routes used by local populations prior to modern infrastructure. This 1954 data reflects a region where land lines remained unsurveyed and unmarked, as noted by the Bureau of Land Management. The prominent Snipe Lake sits centrally as a major landmark amidst the numerous unnamed ponds and drainage basins that characterize this portion of the Lake and Peninsula Borough.
