1954 Map of Lake Clark D-6

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Whitefish Lake dominates the northeast corner of this 1950s landscape, serving as a primary hydrologic anchor for the surrounding marsh and tundra. The terrain is defined by the braided and meandering path of the Mulchatna River and the Hoholitna River, which reflect the complex drainage patterns of this interior region before modern development. In the southern portion of the sheet, the elevation rises toward local heights like Gnat and Ridge, where the land becomes more distinct from the low-lying wetlands. These geographic features, along with smaller bodies of water such as Half Cabin Lake and Gnat Creek, illustrate the seasonal waterflow that historically shaped travel and subsistence in this part of Alaska. The map reflects a period of surveying by the Army Map Service when vast tracts remained unsurveyed and unmarked on the ground, leaving names like Hoho and Chain as essential landmarks for navigation.
