1950 Map of Norton Bay C-4

About this map

Norton Bay defines the western edge of this 1950 coastal study, where the tidal flats meet a network of waterways and high terrain. The Ungalik River meanders through the central landscape, fed by tributaries like Christmas Creek as it flows toward the coast. While the interior is largely dominated by topographic relief, signs of seasonal or remote habitation are marked by several isolated Cabin sites along the riverbanks and coastal transition zones. This map, based on aerial photography from the mid-century, records the drainage patterns and shoreline before significant modern changes, providing a clear view of the natural corridors used by travelers in the Second Judicial Division of Alaska.
