1951 Map of Mt Katmai

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

The Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes dominates this 1951 survey, capturing the dramatic volcanic landscape decades after the massive 1912 eruption. The map details the complex geothermal and glacial features of the region, including the Novarupta vent and the prominent Knife Peak. Human presence is localized at remote outposts such as Kulik Lodge, Grosvenor Camp, and the Ranger Sta at Brooks Camp. Along the southern coast near the Shelikof Strait, the Katmai Village (Site) marks the location of a former settlement. The intricate network of waterways, from the Savonoski River to the vast Naknek Lake, illustrates the drainage patterns through the Buttress Range and around landmarks like The Trident and the massive Mageik Landslide.
