1963 Map of Cold Bay C-2

About this map

Izembek National Wildlife Range dominates the coastal landscape in this mid-century survey of the Alaska Peninsula’s northern shore. The terrain is defined by the meeting of the Bering Sea and Bristol Bay, where a vast Tidal Flat stretches along the coastline. This area is characterized by intricate water systems, including the meandering North Creek and Big Lake, which filter through the low-lying wetlands. Human presence is minimal, marked only by a solitary Cabin near the coast, suggesting a landscape used primarily for subsistence or conservation rather than permanent settlement. The interior rises toward the east, showing more complex topography labeled simply as Rough terrain. This map captures a pristine environment preserved as a wildlife range during a period of expanding federal environmental management in Alaska.
