About this map

Wide Bay dominates this coastal landscape, where the waters of the North Pacific meet the steep slopes of the Alaska Peninsula. Based on photogrammetric surveys from the early 1950s, the map reveals a rugged maritime environment defined by significant elevations like Deer Mountain and Mt Alai. A lone Cabin situated near Titcliff suggests the sparse, seasonal human footprint characteristic of this remote shoreline during the mid-century era.

Glacial and volcanic geography is evident in landmarks such as Icy Peak and the high ridges of Mt Shannon. Drainage patterns are clearly marked by the Dog Salmon River and Kialagvik Creek, which flow toward the extensive Tidal Flat along the bay's western edge. These features, along with navigation aids like VABM 83 Spit, offer a detailed record of the peninsula's topography before more modern developmental shifts or environmental changes altered the coastline.
