2019 Map of Ugashik B-6 NE

About this map

Ugashik Bay Airport serves as a critical waypoint in this expansive wetland landscape on the Alaska Peninsula. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of ponds and marshes, which underscores the geographical isolation and reliance on air travel for transportation in the region during the early twenty-first century. To the southeast, the King Salmon River winds through the coastal lowlands, a vital waterway in an area largely devoid of permanent roads. This 2019 survey documents the complex hydrology of the Lake and Peninsula Borough, showing how the natural drainage patterns and the small airfield are the primary features of an otherwise undeveloped wilderness. The map provides a clear record of the area's physical state, preserving the alignment of the river and the precise location of the airport facilities.
