1951 Map of Ugashik D-4

About this map

Hydrological patterns and low-lying wetlands dominate this mid-century survey of the Alaska Peninsula. Based on 1951 aerial photography, the landscape is defined by an intricate network of unnamed lakes and marshy basins that illustrate the region's complex drainage. A single Landing Strip serves as the only evidence of human infrastructure in this section of the quadrangle, reflecting the critical role of bush aviation in navigating and accessing the remote interior during the early post-war period. The absence of roads or established settlements emphasizes the reliance on natural terrain and seasonal conditions for movement across this part of the Lake and Peninsula territory.
