1950 Map of Nushagak Bay D-5

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Kulukak Bay and the vast sweep of Bristol Bay dominate this coastal survey, where the glacial and fluvial processes of Southwest Alaska are on full display. The landscape is defined by the braided drainage systems of the Kanik River and the meandering paths of the Tuklung River and Titaluk River. These waterways reveal a complex network of wetlands and tidal flats that transition into the protected waters of Tivativak Bay. This mid-century mapping by the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey captures a remote wilderness without established roads or permanent settlements at the time of the aerial photography. The absence of infrastructure underscores the region's reliance on maritime and riverine access, typical of the Bristol Bay fishery and subsistence corridors during this era.
