1952 Map of Naknek B-3

About this map

The King Salmon River meanders across the southern portion of this landscape, its wide basin punctuated by numerous small lakes and tundra ponds. This 1952 field survey captures the territory as it appeared during the mid-century period of strategic mapping by the Army Corps of Engineers and the USGS. The land is largely defined by its intricate hydrological network, with the only signs of human habitation or structural presence being a solitary Cabin located on the north bank of the river and the surveying benchmark at VABM 353 Ramp. The topography is documented with 50-foot contours, illustrating the subtle elevation changes characteristic of the Third Judicial Division in this era.
