1963 Map of Ugashik B-6

About this map

Cape Menshikof defines the northwest corner of this coastal landscape, where the waters of Bristol Bay meet the shoreline of the Alaska Peninsula. The interior is a complex network of wetlands and drainage systems, dominated by the Cinder River and Pumice Creek flowing through an area of low relief and numerous unnamed ponds. Small, isolated points of human activity are noted by simple labels such as John, Pete, Bert, and Alra, which likely represent seasonal camps or small homesteads in this remote region. A solitary Landing Strip and a simple Cabin further south underscore the area's reliance on bush aviation and subsistence living. The map also delineates the extensive Tidal Flats along the coast and the course of King Salmon Creek, reflecting a wilderness environment where waterways serve as the primary landmarks and transit corridors.
