1954 Map of Ugashik A-3

About this map

Mount Chiginagak and Mount Kealavik dominate this mid-century survey of the Alaska Peninsula, where glacial ice and volcanic peaks overlook the Pacific coast. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of the Dog Salmon River and its tributary Wandering Creek, which carve through the high terrain before draining toward the interior. To the southeast, the coastline opens at Chiginagak Bay, characterized by a broad Tidal Flat and the outlet of Kealavik Creek. This 1954 annotation, based on 1953 aerial photography, captures a raw wilderness devoid of established roads or permanent settlements. The map illustrates the complex drainage patterns common to this volcanic arc, providing a snapshot of the region's topography before modern changes in glacial extent.
