1951 Map of Ugashik C-6

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Bristol Bay and the entrance to Ugashik Bay dominate this 1951 survey, capturing a shoreline defined by shifting waters and immense tidal zones. The map focuses on the eastern coast of the Bering Sea, where the land transitions into expansive Tidal Flats at Cape Menshikof and Cape Greig. Isolated structures, simply labeled Cabin and Cabins, are the only evidence of human habitation along this remote stretch of the Alaska Peninsula, likely used by seasonal fishermen or trappers. Navigation along the treacherous coast is marked by the Smoky Point Light at Smoky Pt. The reliance on aerial photography and earlier hydrographic charts highlights the difficulty of surveying this coastal environment during the early 1950s.
