1951 Map of Naknek D-1

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Katmai National Monument defines the eastern and southern portions of this landscape, established as a federal protected area decades before this 1951 aerial survey. The terrain is a complex network of glacial ponds and drainages, where the Bristol Bay Borough line meets the vast wilderness of the monument. Two primary watercourses, Pauls Creek and King Salmon Creek, dominate the drainage pattern as they flow westward through a mosaic of tundra and wetlands. This map, based on photogrammetric methods from 1951 with minor revisions in 1970, captures the area in an era of minimal human infrastructure, emphasizing the natural hydrography and the early administrative boundaries of the region. The absence of roads or established settlements highlights the remote character of the Alaska Peninsula during the mid-twentieth century.
