About this map

The Little Kasigluk River winds through this subarctic landscape, carving a complex network of meanders across the marshy lowlands. This terrain is characterized by extensive wetlands and an intricate drainage pattern typical of the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta region. Rising above the flat, saturated river valleys, Shining Dome serves as a prominent navigational landmark for those traversing the interior. The contrast between the high relief of the dome and the low-lying Kasigluk River highlights the varied topography of this remote Alaskan territory, where seasonal water flow and permafrost dictate the shape of the land. This survey provides an essential view of the hydrography and elevation before any modern infrastructure altered the natural path of these waterways.
