1951 Map of Ugashik A-2

About this map

The Alaska Peninsula National Wildlife Refuge dominates this coastal landscape, protecting a complex network of glacial valleys and deep marine inlets. The topography is defined by significant elevations like Icy Peak, where steep drainage systems feed into Kialagvik Creek and the Agripina River. Along the jagged shoreline, deep-water features such as Imuya Bay and Agripina Bay are punctuated by rocky hazards including Lone Rock and Cape Kilokak. This 1951 photogrammetric survey captures the uninhabited character of the region before modern administrative boundaries were finalized. In the southern waters, the map details the position of several remote landmasses within the Pacific Ocean, including David Island, Poltava I, and Ashiak I, providing a clear look at the navigational obstacles near Port Wrangell and Chiginagak Bay.
