1951 Map of Naknek A-2

About this map

Becharof Lake defines the southern expanse of this Alaskan landscape, captured during a 1951 aerial survey. The northern edge is dominated by the meandering course of the King Salmon River, which snakes across the tundra before the terrain rises into the complex drainage systems of the interior. A single Cabin along the shoreline of Becharof Lake provides a rare sign of human presence in this wilderness, offering a specific point of interest for those researching early regional trails or bush shelters. High points across the varying elevations are marked by surveying benchmarks, including VABM 184 Jeanne and VABM 335 Blue, which were essential for mapping this territory. The hydrology of the area is further detailed by the path of Shosky Creek, which flows through the breaks toward the coast.
