1967 Map of Bristol Bay

About this map

Bristol Bay dominates this coastal survey, where the Alaska Peninsula shoreline is defined by shifting sediments and isolated outposts. Based on data from the U.S. Geological Survey and the Army Map Service, the map records a sparsely populated maritime landscape during the mid-1960s. The coastline near the mouth of the Cinder River is marked by extensive Tidal Flats and Mud banks, indicating a treacherous and ever-changing littoral environment. Inland, a series of small named locations such as Tugg, Quinn, Teck, and Babs suggests a network of seasonal camps, surveyor benchmarks, or remote cabins rather than established towns. The presence of Hook Lagoon and a singular Cabin near the shore highlights the reliance on protected waterways for navigation and shelter in this part of the Lake and Peninsula region.
