1951 Map of Ugashik A-2

About this map

Icy Peak dominates the northern reaches of this coastal landscape, where high-altitude ice fields give way to numerous crevasses and steep glacial drainage. The map documents the intricate coastline of the Alaska Peninsula in the early 1950s, defined by deep indentations like Imuya Bay and Agripina Bay. Further south, the sheltered waters of Port Wrangell provide a stark contrast to the open Pacific Ocean. This survey reveals a landscape largely devoid of human infrastructure, instead emphasizing natural navigation aids and topographic high points. Multiple survey markers, such as VABM 2919 Snow and VABM 1970 Imuya, pinpoint the primary summits used for mapping this coastline. Coastal features like David Island and the jagged Kilokak Rocks near Cape Kilokak illustrate the hazards of this maritime environment.
