1951 Map of Mount Katmai A-6

About this map

Katmai National Monument covers a significant portion of this interior Alaskan landscape, characterized by the winding headwaters of the Alaska Peninsula. Braided river systems such as Angle Creek and Takayofo Creek dominate the topography, illustrating the drainage patterns of this glacially influenced terrain during the mid-century. Based on 1951 aerial photography, the survey delineates an National Monument Boundary (Indefinite) through an area of predominantly unsurveyed and unmarked land locations. Smaller tributaries like Contact Creek and Gertrude Creek flow through various townships, providing a clear view of the water-rich geography before later shifts in administrative boundaries or landscape evolution.
