1963 Map of Ugashik A-6

About this map

The Cinder River winds through an intricate network of wetlands and volcanic drainages in this mid-century survey of the Alaska Peninsula. Braided water channels and vast marshlands dominate the northern reach, where Pumice Creek and Old Creek feed into the primary river system. The landscape transition is marked by the presence of the Aniakchak National Preserve and the Aniakchak Nat Mon in the southern portion, reflecting the region's complex conservation history. These boundaries, including the Alaska Peninsula National Wildlife Refuge, delineate protected wilderness areas defined by geological features like Lava Creek and High Creek. The map documents a territory void of roads or permanent settlements, where the drainage patterns of Ray Creek and other tributaries dictate the only navigable routes through the tundra and upland terrain.
