1954 Map of Lake Clark D-3

About this map

Old Village (Abandoned) sits on the northwestern shore of Lake Telaquana, marking a site of former habitation in this remote landscape. The mid-century survey reveals a network of overland transport, specifically the Native Trail which winds through the mountain passes and follows the course of the Telaquana River. To the south, the deep waters of Turquoise Lake are framed by high elevations, including Telaquana Mountain which dominates the southeastern terrain. The drainage patterns are clearly defined, showing the headwaters of the Mulchatna River and the steep descent of Summit Creek. This mapping reflects a period of documentation by the Army Map Service and Geological Survey focused on the topography of the Lake and Peninsula region, capturing the existing indigenous pathways and seasonal sites before modern changes occurred.
