About this map

Klutina Lake dominates this glacial landscape, serving as the central reservoir for the northern Chugach region's drainage system. The high-altitude terrain is defined by prominent summits such as Powell Peak, Dyke Mtn, and Marshall Mtn, which frame the deep basin carved by the Klutina River. Evidence of early remote habitation is preserved in labels for isolated Cabin sites near the lake's western shore and the mouth of Curtis Gulch. The 1953 survey captures the complex hydrology of the valley, where the Hallet River feeds into the primary river system amidst a series of steep drainages and mountain massifs including Terrace Mtn and Mayer Peak. This map provides a clear record of the area's natural landmarks and rudimentary trails before modern recreational development, reflecting a time when surveying depended on high-altitude benchmarks like VABM Klu and VABM Mayer.
