1954 Map of Lake Clark C-7

About this map

The Mulchatna River and Chilikadrotna River converge in this mid-century topographic survey of the Alaska wilderness. The landscape is defined by its complex drainage network, where Big Bonanza Creek joins the larger river systems amidst unnamed peaks. A solitary Cabin located near the northern reaches of the Mulchatna represents the only recorded human structure in the area at the time of the 1954 field annotation. This map provides a detailed look at the drainage patterns of Dummy Creek and its surroundings before later regional developments. The topography was established using photogrammetric methods from aerial photographs taken between 1953 and 1957, capturing the remote river valleys of the Lake and Peninsula region in their natural state.
