1951 Map of Ugashik C-3

About this map

Upper Ugashik Lake dominates this mid-century Alaskan landscape, providing a clear look at the intricate shoreline and drainage patterns of the Alaska Peninsula before significant modern development. The map shows the narrow land bridge separating the upper waters from Lower Ugashik Lake, a critical point for local navigation and movement. A solitary Cabin is marked along the southeastern shore of the upper lake, representing the sparse human footprint in this wilderness during the early 1950s. Surveyors identified key topographic benchmarks such as Vabm 1776 (Hill) and the distinctive Vabm 344 (Cone), which served as essential navigational and mapping points in a region characterized by its expansive water bodies and varied elevations.
