1951 Map of Mount Katmai B-6

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Katmai National Monument dominates this mid-century topographic study, revealing the immense volcanic and glaciated terrain of the Alaska Peninsula. The map is defined by the dramatic elevation changes of the Aleutian Range, where sharp contour lines trace unnamed peaks and ridges that descend toward the northern water systems. In the northwest corner, the shoreline of Lake Brooks provides a significant landmark for the region's hydrology. To the southeast, the headwaters of Contact Creek wind through the high valleys. This survey, derived from 1951 aerial photography, documents a wilderness landscape largely devoid of human infrastructure, focusing instead on the raw geological and hydrographic features of the protected monument area before its expansion into a national park.
