1952 Map of Naknek B-5

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Tidal flats and hundreds of small lakes dominate this coastal landscape on the eastern shore of Kvichak Bay. Mapped in the early 1950s, the terrain reveals a sparsely settled region where seasonal movement was essential. A prominent Winter Trail cuts across the northern landscape, bypassing the marshy coastal reaches to provide a inland route. Coastal navigation is marked by the Middle Bluff Light and the projection of Cape Chichagof. The hydrology is defined by the winding paths of Big Creek and Bishop Creek, which snake through the tundra toward Bristol Bay. These waterways, along with scattered cabins, suggest a landscape utilized for seasonal fishing or trapping, reflecting the traditional subsistence and commercial patterns of the Alaska Peninsula during the mid-century era.
