1951 Map of Ugashik B-3

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Lower Ugashik Lake dominates the northern reaches of this mid-century survey, its expansive waters meeting a shoreline of intricate inlets and wetlands. The drainage patterns of the Alaska Peninsula are clearly delineated, showing the flow of the Dog Salmon River as it winds through the south-central landscape, fed by tributaries like Goblet Creek and the long, winding Figure Eight Creek. High elevations are concentrated in the central-western portion of the quadrangle, where steep contours rise above small glacial basins containing Elizabeth Lake and Lenora Lake. This 1951 documentation, based on aerial photography from that same year, captures the region's hydrography and topography before significant modern changes, showcasing a wilderness defined by water and high ridges. The map is particularly useful for understanding the primary watercourses and seasonal drainage routes, such as Black Creek, which are critical to the local ecosystem and historical transit.
