1951 Map of Ugashik C-4

About this map

The Ugashik River snakes through this water-saturated landscape, defining a complex network of wetlands and tundra just inland from the Alaska Peninsula coastline. In the early 1950s, this area remained largely inaccessible, evidenced by the scattered Cabin and Cabins sites that represent the only human footprint in an otherwise vast expanse of marsh. A single Footbridge provides a rare crossing point near the eastern edge of the survey, likely serving seasonal trappers or early surveyors navigating between the myriad unnamed ponds. The southeastern corner is dominated by the northern tip of Lower Ugashik Lake, while Andrew Creek drains the northern reaches. This map illustrates the raw hydrography of the region before significant modern development, preserving the locations of isolated structures used by those working the remote Seward Meridian.
