About this map

Pilot Point and the maritime infrastructure of the Alaska Peninsula are captured here during the early 1950s. The settlement at Pilot Point is shown with its commercial and navigational landmarks, including a Cannery and Water Towers, situated along the eastern shore of Ugashik Bay. The coastal landscape is defined by extensive Tidal Flats that transition into a complex network of wetlands and tundra ponds to the north and east.

Further inland and upstream along the Ugashik River, the map identifies the location of Ugashik and its associated Cannery facilities. The drainage of Dago Creek snakes through the low-lying terrain, punctuated by survey markers like VABM 214 Babe. This survey provides a primary look at the mid-century fishing and processing hubs of the region before significant modern development altered these remote outposts.
