1953 Map of Mt. Katmai B-6

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Katmai National Monument dominates this mid-century topographic study, which captures the raw, undeveloped character of the Alaska Peninsula before modern expansion. This specific quadrangle focuses on the transition from the shorelines of Lake Brooks in the north to the high elevation of Mt Kelez, where the terrain rises to 3,450 feet. The landscape is defined by its lack of human infrastructure, with no roads or trails indicated on the entire sheet, emphasizing the wilderness state of the region during the 1950s. Waterways like Contact Creek drain the southeast corner, carving through the mountainous interior. This map is a primary reference for understanding the hydrological and geological layout of the area as it was recorded shortly after the park's early years of federal protection.
