About this map

Wide Bay dominates the southern landscape of this remote coastal survey, where the Alaska Peninsula meets the sea. Based on 1951 aerial photography, the map illustrates the complex drainage systems of Black Creek, Alai Creek, and Kialagvik Creek as they flow from high-elevation peaks toward the shoreline. The topography is defined by prominent summits such as Deer Mountain and Mt Shannon, while navigation through the interior is marked by named gaps like Sids Pass.

Evidence of human presence is minimal but documented, including a single Cabin located on the eastern shore of Imuya Bay and several triangulation stations like VABM 128 Cheek. The vast Tidal Flat area at the head of the bay reveals the dynamic nature of the coastline, while the detailed bathymetry within Wide Bay provides a window into the maritime environment before significant modern development altered these remote reaches.
