1954 Map of Lake Clark D-6

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Whitefish Lake dominates the upper-right quadrant of this mid-century Alaskan interior landscape, feeding a complex drainage system that includes the Hohotitna River and numerous unnamed ponds. Mapped from aerial photography taken between 1953 and 1957 by the Army Map Service, this region is characterized by significant topographic relief, with prominent peaks like Summit, Dhani, and Hono rising above the river valleys. The southern portion of the sheet is defined by the winding course of the Mulchatna River, which meanders through a low-lying basin dotted with water bodies such as Half Cabin Lake. This survey represents the era before modern development, showing a wilderness where the Bureau of Land Management had predetermined unsurveyed land lines, yet no roads or trails were recorded. Local landmarks like Gnat Creek and the associated Gnat elevation provide reference points in a terrain primarily shaped by glacial and alluvial forces.
