1951 Map of Mt Katmai

About this map

The dramatic volcanic landscape of Katmai National Monument is captured here during a mid-century period of geologic and recreational interest. The map documents the aftermath of the 1912 eruption, centering on the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes and the high peaks of the Barrier Range, including Mt Katmai, Novarupta, and The Trident. Geologists and researchers can trace the drainage patterns of the Lethe River and Knife Creek through this ash-filled valley.
