1952 Map of Naknek C-3

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

King Salmon and South Naknek anchor the commercial and transportation activity of this Bristol Bay region in the early 1950s. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Naknek River, which transitions from tidal flats at Coffee Pt near the Cannery to the distinctive Horseshoe Bend further inland. This area, within the Bristol Bay Borough, shows the intersection of aviation and maritime history, evidenced by the presence of Radio Towers near the river's junction with Salmon Creek. Inland, the terrain is a complex network of wetlands and smaller tributaries including Paul's Creek and Smelt Creek. These water-rich lowlands provided the essential infrastructure for the local fishing and canning industries, while remote locations like Savonoski and scattered Cabin sites reflect the subsistence and trapping patterns of the Alaskan interior during this period of mid-century development.
