1951 Map of Mount Katmai A-2

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Katmai National Monument encompasses this coastal landscape along the Shelikof Strait, where deep fjords and bays pierce the mountainous terrain. The map captures the intricate shoreline during the early 1950s, a period when the area was managed for its unique volcanic and wilderness values following the 1912 eruption. A lone Cabin sits on the western shore of Geographic Harbor, marking one of the few signs of human infrastructure in this massive protected area. The maritime character of the region is emphasized by the detailed soundings and anchorages, such as Russian Anchorage in Kinak Bay. Extensive Tidal Flats are mapped within the inner reaches of Amalik Bay and surrounding Takli Island, revealing the dramatic tidal fluctuations that define navigation in these remote Alaskan waters.
