1954 Map of Baird Inlet A-2

About this map

Kuskokwim River and the sweeping tidal marshes of southwest Alaska dominate this mid-century survey. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of water and wetlands, where the Tagayarak River feeds into the broad delta. Traditional land use and seasonal movements are evidenced by the Winter Trail cutting across the northern reaches and named locations like Bivouac and Snooks. Settlement patterns along the eastern shoreline show established sites such as Popokamiut, while interior locations like Kuskovak and Papka are noted specifically as sites, reflecting the changing nature of habitation in the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta. To the south, the Ishkowik River meanders toward Kuskokwim Bay, illustrating the complex hydrology of this coastal environment near West Point.
