1963 Map of Bristol Bay A-1

About this map

Mud Creek dominates the low-lying northern expanse of this 1963 survey, carving a path through a landscape defined by expansive wetlands and unnamed lakes. The terrain transitions dramatically toward the south, rising into the foothills and peaks of the Aleutian Range. Surveyed by the Geological Survey and Bureau of Land Management using 1957 aerial photography, the map highlights localized high points including Alfred and Babs. The lack of roads or established trails on this sheet emphasizes the undeveloped character of this Bristol Bay region in the early 1960s, where movement was dictated by the drainage of the creek and the steepening contours of the southern highlands.
