2019 Map of Ugashik B-6 NW

About this map

Cape Menshikof defines the shoreline of the Alaska Peninsula in this coastal survey, where the land meets the cold waters of Bristol Bay. The terrain is a complex network of thousands of small kettle lakes and ponds, characteristic of the low-lying tundra landscape in this part of the Lake and Peninsula Borough. Topographic contours reveal a series of coastal bluffs and ridges that rise from the bay, contrasting with the saturated, lake-pocked interior plains. The map is primarily an environmental record of an undeveloped wilderness, documenting the precise location of the cape and the intricate hydrography of the surrounding wetlands as they existed in the early twenty-first century.
