1954 Map of Norton Bay D-2

About this map

Ungalik River defines the central drainage of this interior Alaskan landscape, which was documented by the U.S. Geological Survey using aerial photography from the early 1950s. The terrain is dominated by a complex network of unnamed ridges and valleys, with sparse vegetation concentrated along the primary watercourses. To the southeast, Egavik Creek flows toward the coast, marking one of the few named landmarks in this expansive territory. This 1954 survey captures the region as it existed before significant modern mapping or infrastructure development reached this portion of the Norton Bay quadrangle, representing a period when the land was primarily understood through topographic contouring rather than established settlements or roads.
