Beyond the Moon Crater Myth - A New History of the Aniakchak Landscape
Ringsmuth KJ. 2007. Beyond the Moon Crater Myth - A New History of the Aniakchak Landscape. Historic Resource Study. U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service
This report identifies the park's known historical resources and places those resources into a historical context. The findings presented in this study identify several historic sites, properties, and places and provide new theoretical interpretations on what actually occured within those places. Aniakchak National Monument and Preserve is located across from Kodiak Island, on the central portion of the Alaska Peninsula which juts out from the Alaska mainland, splitting the Bering Sea from the North Pacific Ocean. The historic resource study serves as a reminder that people, too, live within the Aniakchak Landscape despite the common perception that nothing exists here except a moon crater. It also identifies the park's known historical resources and places those resources into a historical context. The findings presented in this study identify several historic sites, properties, and places and provide new theoretical interpretations on what actually occured within those places.
