1951 Map of Naknek A-5

About this map

Egegik sits at the mouth of Egegik Bay, serving as a critical point of maritime and industrial activity on the Bristol Bay coast during the early 1950s. The landscape is dominated by extensive Tidal Flats and winding channels that define the entrance to the bay. A prominent Cannery and a designated Landing Area underscore the region's reliance on the seasonal salmon fishery and air transport for connectivity. Along the southern shore, a series of survey markers including VABM 181 Egegik and VABM 26 Egegik S Base trace the coastal elevation. The northern entrance is marked by Red Bluff Light and Bishop Creek, while to the west, the open waters of Bristol Bay meet the distinctive landforms of Goose Pt and South Spit. This survey captures the specialized infrastructure of the Alaskan fishing industry before modern expansion.
