1950 Map of Nushagak Bay B-3

About this map

The Nushagak Peninsula dominates this 1950 hydrographic and topographic study, showing a landscape defined by an intricate network of countless small lakes and ponds. Situated at the edge of Bristol Bay, the land terminates at sharp coastal landmarks including Cape Constantine and Protection Point. The map provides detailed maritime data compiled from earlier Coast and Geodetic Survey charts, revealing the complex underwater topography of the surrounding waters. Large hazards like the Sterling Shoal and Ustiugof Shoal are clearly delineated, marking the transition from the peninsula’s low-lying marshy interior to the deep bay. Several triangulation stations, such as Vabm Bee 131 and Vabm Nush 101, serve as fixed points in this remote terrain, which contains no established roads or trails.
