1951 Map of Ugashik C-1

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Kanatak sits at the head of Kanatak Lagoon on the Alaska Peninsula, serving as a critical coastal gateway during this early postwar era. The landscape is defined by the massive expanse of Becharof Lake and the steep mountain passes that connect the interior water bodies to the Pacific coast at Portage Bay. The presence of an Oil Camp (Aband) and a nearby Cem suggests the transient and industrial history of resource extraction in this remote terrain. Several mountain peaks, including Mt Becharof and Mt Simeon, create a formidable barrier navigated by traditional routes like Kanatak Pass and Burls Pass. Small Cabin and Cabins labels scattered near Lake Ruth and the south fork of South Fork Burls Creek indicate the localized patterns of seasonal trapping or subsistence living common in the region before modern infrastructure expanded.
