1954 Map of Bethel C-8

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Napakiak and Oscarville anchor the northern reaches of this mid-century survey, situated along the complex braids of the Kuskokwim River. The landscape is dominated by a sprawling network of wetlands, where the river's influence is seen in extensive Tidal Flat zones and unnamed sloughs. Farther south, the vast expanse of Eek Lake stands out as a primary geographic landmark in a terrain otherwise defined by thousands of small ponds and interconnected waterways. Human passage through this environment is marked by the Winter Trail, reflecting the seasonal nature of travel in the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta. Small outposts and seasonal sites like Napaiskak and Willie Petes appear near Graveyard Point, providing critical points of reference for genealogists and researchers tracing the history of indigenous settlements and river commerce in the region during the 1950s.
