1951 Map of Ugashik B-1

About this map

Shelikof Strait dominates this coastal survey, where the rugged shoreline of the Alaska Peninsula meets the North Pacific waters. This area, largely untouched by infrastructure in the early 1950s, is defined by significant maritime landmarks like Cape Igvak and Cape Kayakliut. The presence of Lee Cabin near the mouth of Des Moines Creek suggests a solitary point of human habitation or seasonal activity in an otherwise unpopulated landscape. The cartography reveals a complex marine environment featuring Wide Bay and Portage Bay, separated by high ridges and peaks such as VABM 1923 Alpokk. Notable coastal features like Coal Point and several islands, including Terrace Island and Hartman Island, provide critical reference points for navigation through the West Channel and East Channel.
