1950 Map of Norton Bay D-3

About this map

Ungalik River provides the primary orientation for this 1950 topographical study of the Alaskan interior near Norton Bay. The terrain is characterized by an intricate drainage network where countless unnamed streams and tributaries carve through the upland landscape. While no settlements, roads, or trails are marked on this sheet, the map serves as a highly detailed record of the natural topography as it existed in the mid-20th century. Mapped by the Army Map Service using aerial photography, the contours illustrate the significant elevation changes and hydrological patterns that defined this wilderness area during the early Cold War era, providing a precise baseline for geological or environmental research in the Second Judicial Division.
