1954 Map of Baird Inlet

About this map

The Yukon Delta National Wildlife Refuge encompasses a vast hydrographic network of the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta, where the Baird Inlet meets the Bering Sea. This mid-century landscape is defined by its complex waterway system, including the Ninglick River and the meandering Kuskokwim River. Indigenous settlements and subsistence sites are documented throughout the marshy tundra, ranging from established villages like Newtok and Chefornak to numerous seasonal locations such as Nunakak Camp and Chiloghunut.
