1963 Map of Sutwik Island D-6

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Meshik Lake sits as a central basin in this 1963 survey of the Alaska Peninsula, a landscape defined by dramatic drainage systems and high volcanic peaks. The Aniakchak River dominates the central portion of the map, flowing southeastward from its headwaters through a wide valley, eventually joined by the North Fork Aniakchak River and Mystery Creek. To the north, the Cinder River and its tributaries like Wiggly Creek carve paths toward the coast, while the southern reaches are drained by the Meshik River and Albert Johnson Creek. Significant elevations like Elephant Mountain, Jaw Mountain, and Pinnacle Mountain punctuate the terrain, illustrating the complex topographic barriers that shaped early exploration and travel through this part of the Lake and Peninsula region. The mapping reflects the era's reliance on photogrammetric methods to document remote wilderness where no roads or trails yet existed.
