1951 Map of Mount Katmai A-6

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Katmai National Monument dominates this mid-century topographic study, capturing the wilderness character of the Alaska Peninsula before statehood. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Takayoto Creek and Angle Creek, which drain the mountainous interior toward the Bristol Bay region. The National Monument Boundary cuts a sharp diagonal across the landscape, marking a clear divide between the protected volcanic wilderness and the surrounding backcountry near Contact Creek and Gertrude Creek. This map, based on 1951 aerial photography, documents the hydrological patterns of the Katmai region during a period of minimal human infrastructure, emphasizing the natural drainage systems and elevation changes that define this subarctic environment.
