1952 Map of Naknek C-6

About this map

Kvichak Bay dominates the southern half of this landscape, its tidal reaches characterized by shifting Sand and Mud along the coastline. Inland, the topography transitions into a complex network of wetlands and small water bodies typical of the Alaska Peninsula. A solitary Cabin stands near the shore, providing a rare marker of human habitation in this coastal wilderness. The area around Lake Pt and the inland Supply Lake is drained by Supply Creek, illustrating the intricate drainage patterns that define this region before it reaches the waters of Bristol Bay Borough. This survey, based on 1951 aerial photography and field checked in the early 1950s, documents the shoreline and interior marshland as they existed during a period of minimal development.
