1951 Map of Mt Katmai

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

The Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes dominates this mid-century reconnaissance, a landscape defined by the cataclysmic 1912 eruption. The survey traces the thermal and volcanic activity of the region, noting the Novarupta Volcano, Trident Volcano, and the Mageik Landslide near Observation Mtn. Beyond the volcanic peaks, the map documents the human geography of the Katmai National Monument and the Third Judicial Division, marking several sites of prior habitation. Settlements such as Savonoski (Abandoned) and Katmai Village (Aban'd) reflect the displacement caused by the ash and sulfur of the early 20th century. Large freshwater bodies like Naknek Lake, Nonvianuk Lake, and Grosvenor Lake provide a counterpoint to the barren volcanic ash fields, while smaller details like the Site of Ancient Village near Kulik Lake hint at deeper regional history.
