1951 Map of Mount Katmai B-2

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Katmai National Monument dominates this mid-century topographic record, capturing the high-altitude ice and volcanic features of the Alaska Peninsula. Based on 1951 aerial photography, the landscape is defined by massive glacial systems such as Hook Glacier and the strikingly named Serpent Tongue Glacier. These frozen rivers descend from a skyline marked by peaks like Mt Denison, Mt Stellar, and the Kukak Volcano. The presence of numerous crevasses noted across the ice fields highlights the active, shifting nature of the terrain during this era of survey. In the southeast, the elevation drops sharply toward the marine environment of Kukak Bay, where the glacial influence meets the Pacific coast. This map serves as a primary source for the geomorphology of the Katmai region before later twentieth-century environmental shifts.
