About this map

The Eek River meanders through a vast network of tidal flats and marshy lowlands in this mid-century survey of the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta. Near the river's mouth, the settlement of Eek serves as a focal point for the region, complete with a Cem and a Seaplane Float that highlights the critical importance of bush aviation in rural Alaska. Smaller outposts like Apokak and Kukwak are scattered among the waterways, connected during the colder months by a Winter Trail that cuts across the frozen tundra.
