1953 Map of Mount Katmai D-1

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

The Kamishak River winds through the heart of this Kenai Peninsula landscape as it appeared in the early 1950s. Photogrammetric methods from 1951 aerial photography reveal a wilderness defined by drainage patterns and glacial topography, where the main river is joined by the significant South Fork. To the west, Strike Creek flows along a distinct north-south axis through an area of swamps and low relief. This portion of the Mt. Katmai D-1 sheet includes unsurveyed land lines predetermined by the Bureau of Land Management, reflecting a period when large tracts of the Alaskan interior remained unmarked on the ground. The absence of roads or trails emphasizes the isolation of the river systems during this surveying era.
