1963 Map of Bristol Bay

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Bristol Bay dominates this mid-1960s hydrographic and topographic study, revealing the coastal interface of the Alaska Peninsula where land and water blur into a series of marshes and tidal flats. The coastline is defined by the sweeping Cinder River and Mud Creek systems, which drain through low-lying terrain into the bay. Significant for researchers of coastal geography and local history, the map identifies a series of small named locations such as Sherry, Alfred, Babs, and Edith scattered across the flats and inland reaches. These points, along with landmarks like Hook Lagoon, illustrate a period of sparse settlement and reliance on natural waterways. Compiled from 1963 surveys and aerial photography, the map captures the region's character as a roadless environment shaped by Tidal Flat deposits and the influence of the Bering Sea.
