1952 Map of Naknek B-3

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

The King Salmon River winds through this expanse of southwestern Alaska, providing a vital waterway within a landscape defined by wetlands and high-altitude lakes. Surveyed in the early 1950s, the map highlights the intersection of two significant conservation areas: Katmai National Monument to the northeast and Becharof National Monument along the southern and eastern margins. The topography is predominantly characterized by low-relief marshlands and numerous unnamed ponds, reflecting the glacial legacy of the Alaska Peninsula. A single Cabin label is the only indication of permanent man-made shelter in this wilderness, suggesting a landscape used primarily for seasonal subsistence or early field research rather than established settlement. The drainage patterns and topographic contours captured here offer a baseline for studying the shifting hydrology of this protected region before the modern era of environmental monitoring.
