1951 Map of Naknek A-3

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The Becharof Lake shoreline and the upper reaches of the Egegik River dominate this 1951 aerial survey of the Alaska Peninsula. The landscape is defined by a dense network of unnamed thermokarst lakes and tundra wetlands, punctuated by the occasional Cabin or group of Cabins that hint at seasonal hunting or fishing activity. In the southeast, the terrain rises toward localized peaks marked as Vabm 215 Dike, while Shosky Creek meanders through the central interior. This map records the drainage pattern of the region before significant modern development, specifically highlighting the treacherous Rapids where the river exits the lake. The presence of triangulation stations like Vabm 169 Shosky and Vabm 19 Lagoon reflects the mid-century effort by the Geological Survey to provide precise geodetic control in this roadless territory.
