1963 Map of Bristol Bay A-2

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Bristol Bay dominates the western shoreline of this 1960s survey, where the saltwater meets a complex network of coastal wetlands and low-lying tundra. The landscape is defined by the expansive Tidal Flat and the sheltered waters of Hook Lagoon to the north, while Reindeer Creek winds through the southern reaches of the quadrangle. A series of curious, short-hand labels including Dubb, Bill, Hook, Quirt, and Abel are scattered along the coastal margins, likely marking specific landing sites, local landmarks, or survey points utilized by the U.S. Geological Survey during their 1957 aerial photography and 1963 field annotations. This map provides a look at a largely unsurveyed wilderness, noting that land lines represent predetermined locations from the Bureau of Land Management rather than marked boundaries on the ground.
