1954 Map of Bethel D-7

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Kuskokwim River dominates this landscape of the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta, where a labyrinthine network of sloughs and tributary rivers defines the pattern of movement and settlement. Established communities like Akiachak and Kwethluk are situated along these vital waterways, serving as hubs in a region where transport relies heavily on the river systems. The map shows the intricate drainage of the Kwethluk River and Tupuknuk River, alongside notable smaller settlements such as Nunapitchuk. A lone Landing Strip at Akiachak highlights the emerging role of aviation in connecting these remote points during the mid-20th century. The presence of Church Slough and Kuskokuak Slough illustrates the complex, shifting nature of the delta's hydrology, with numerous tidal flats and islands like Kiktak Is marking the seasonal ebb and flow of the glacial waters.
