1951 Map of Mount Katmai B-2

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Katmai National Monument dominates this mid-century survey of the Aleutian Range, captured through aerial photography before modern climate shifts altered these ice fields. The landscape is defined by massive glacial systems, including the wide expanse of Hook Glacier and the distinctively shaped Serpent Tongue Glacier. These frozen rivers are heavily marked with crevasses, particularly as they descend from the high peaks. High elevations are anchored by Mt Denison and Mt Stellar, while the towering Kukak Volcano stands near the coast. At the southeastern edge of the map, the terrain drops sharply toward the marine waters of Kukak Bay, where the glacial influence meets the sea. This record preserves the precise extent of the ice and the high-altitude topography of the Alaska Peninsula during a period of active geological monitoring.
