1952 Map of Naknek D-2

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Pauls Creek meanders through a landscape defined by glacial topography and intricate drainage patterns in this early 1950s survey of the Bristol Bay region. The hydrology is dominated by three primary systems: Pauls Creek, Salmon Creek, and King Salmon Creek, which flow across a terrain characterized by numerous small ponds and depressions. Mapped by the Army Map Service using 1951 aerial photography, the sheet records the natural state of the wilderness before significant development. The presence of these major creek systems suggests their importance as seasonal corridors for fish and navigation in the Alaska-Third Judicial Division. This topographic record serves as a baseline for understanding the unchanged drainage basins and wetland ecosystems of the Naknek area during the mid-twentieth century.
