About this map

Robinson Mountains dominate the northern landscape of this coastal survey, where ice-fed drainage systems descend toward the Pacific. The terrain transitions from high peaks like Kulthieth Mountain down to a complex network of braided waterways, including the Kaliakh River and the Duktoth River. This 1984 edition, based on photography from the early 1970s, captures the shifting alluvial fans and coastal marshes before they reach the Gulf of Alaska.

Remote coastal features such as Sunshine Point and the mouth of the Chiuki River illustrate the dynamic interface between the mountain runoff and the sea. The map provides specific detail on small tributaries like Odor Creek, Hope Creek, and Cotton Cr, which carve through the foothills. This document serves as a specialized record of this unpopulated stretch of the Alskan coastline, documenting the natural hydrology and landforms of the region in the late twentieth century.
