1951 Map of Mount Katmai C-3

About this map

Savonoski River and its glacial tributaries define this stretch of the Alaska Peninsula as it appeared in the mid-20th century. The wide, braided river valley forms a central corridor through the landscape, joined from the south by the Rainbow River. These watercourses dominate a terrain marked by dramatic elevation changes, notably at Wolverine Falls and the survey point VABM 3462 Scrab. Within the Katmai National Park (Wilderness), the map identifies Naukfak (Site), a location indicating human presence or historic habitation in an otherwise unpopulated mountain environment. Water drainage patterns, including Hardscrabble Creek and Gorge Creek, reveal the complex hydrological network typical of this subarctic region before later management changes.
