1963 Map of Ugashik A-5

About this map

The Alaska Peninsula National Wildlife Refuge dominates the northern half of this landscape, characterized by the expansive Mother Goose Lake and the winding King Salmon River. The terrain transitions southward into the volcanic and mountainous territory of the Aniakchak National Preserve. This area, mapped in the early 1960s, shows a remote wilderness where human activity is sparse, marked only by a solitary Cabin and a remote Landing Strip along Painter Creek. The drainage patterns are defined by numerous seasonal flows, including Old Creek, Pumice Creek, and Ray Creek, which carve through the high elevations. The map serves as a detailed record of this subarctic environment before modern environmental classifications and boundary adjustments were finalized.
