1950 Map of Nushagak Bay C-3

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Igushik River flows southward along the eastern margin of the Nushagak Peninsula in this mid-century coastal survey. The landscape is defined by its complex hydrography, where the river meets the tidal reaches of Nushagak Bay. Of particular interest to genealogists and local historians is the location of Igushik (Site), appearing here as a former settlement or seasonal camp near the river mouth. The terrain along the coast is marked by the distinctive Nichols Hills and the long, protective stretch of Nichols Spit. Inland, the geography is characterized by the prominent Igushik Ridge and a dense network of small ponds and unnamed waterways that dominate the peninsula's interior. This 1950 data, compiled from aerial photography and earlier hydrographic charts, records the natural shoreline and navigational landmarks of the Alaska-Third Judicial Division before more modern coastal developments or shifts occurred.
