1954 Map of Ugashik B-4

About this map

Dog Salmon River meanders across this vast alluvial plain on the Alaska Peninsula, showcasing a complex network of oxbow lakes, abandoned channels, and seasonal wetlands. The 1954 fieldwork captures the wild character of the landscape before significant modern changes, dominated by the sluggish water of the Lower Ugashik Lake in the northeast corner. Higher elevations rise toward the southeast, where survey stations like Salmon 1222 and Chig 2006 provide vertical control points amidst the tundra. This map is a record of the intricate hydrological patterns of the Bristol Bay region, illustrating how the river systems define the geography of the Lake and Peninsula area.
