1952 Map of Naknek C-6

About this map

Kvichak Bay dominates the southern half of this coastal landscape, revealing the intricate underwater topography of sand and mud flats as they existed in the early 1950s. The shoreline is marked by notable landmarks such as Lake Point (also labeled as Lake Pt) and a lone Cabin situated near the northeastern coast. The interior terrain is a complex network of wetlands and small water bodies, draining through Supply Creek from the larger Supply Lake. This survey, compiled from 1951 aerial photography, captures the remote character of the Alaska Peninsula before significant modern development, emphasizing the natural hydrology and the primitive navigational aids along the bay's shifting edge.
