1951 Map of Mt Katmai

While the region is largely a protected wilderness, remote human outposts are visible, including the Kulik Lodge, Grosvenor Camp, and the Brooks River Ranger Sta along the shores of Naknek Lake. The coastal interface is marked by the Katmai (Site), a former village location abandoned after the eruption, and the deep indentations of Geographic Harbor. This document serves as a vital record of the transition from early exploration to the establishment of the Katmai National Monument.
