1951 Map of Mt Katmai

Evidence of human struggle against this shifting environment is visible in the clusters of abandoned settlements. The map identifies the Savonoski (Abandoned) site along the Savonoski River and Katmai Village on the shores of Katmai Bay. These empty locales, along with a Site of Ancient Village further north, underscore the impact of the 1912 eruption on the local population. From the Hook Glacier to the deep inlets of Geographic Harbor, the sheet provides a detailed look at the Katmai National Monument at mid-century.
