1949 Map of Ugashik

About this map

Alaska Peninsula terrain is defined by its volatile volcanic peaks and complex hydrology in this mid-century survey. The massive Becharof Lake dominates the north, feeding a network of waterways that includes the Ugashik River and the expansive Upper Ugashik Lake. Along the eastern coastline near Wide Bay, the settlement of Kanatak sits at the base of the mountains, while the remote Lee's Cabin is situated near the shore of Portage Bay. The landscape is punctuated by significant peaks like Mt Chiginagak and Mt Peulik, which overlook a wilderness of creeks and lagoons. On the western coast, Bristol Bay features landmarks such as Pilot Point and Cape Greig, marking the transition from the mountainous interior to the marshy coastal plains near the Dog Salmon River.
