1958 Map of Lake Clark D-2

About this map

Telaquana Lake and its corresponding Telaquana River dominate this high-altitude landscape in the Lake Clark region. Published following late 1950s photogrammetric surveys, the map documents a transition from the drainage basin toward the Kenai Peninsula Borough boundary. The terrain is marked by significant glaciological features, specifically multiple areas of crevasses that indicate active ice movement during this era. A natural corridor is formed by Telaquana Pass, providing a navigational route through the high peaks. The eastern portion of the quadrangle shows the headwaters of the Neacola River, while Trail Creek carves through the southwest. This document captures the wilderness state of the region before any road infrastructure or permanent settlements were established, reflecting the unsurveyed and unmarked land lines predetermined by the Bureau of Land Management.
