1952 Map of Black A-2

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Bering Sea waters dominate the western half of this coastal landscape, meeting a complex shoreline defined by mudflats and a sprawling network of small lakes and ponds. Near the delta of Melatolik Creek, the small settlement of Bismut and an isolated Cabin represent the sparse human presence in this region during the early 1950s. The map illustrates a transitional environment where land and water blur, featuring Krekatok Island and the Sand Islands positioned just offshore. The Army Map Service and Geological Survey produced this survey using aerial photography from 1951, capturing a detailed layout of the hydrography in an area with no roads or trails. This lack of infrastructure emphasizes the reliance on seasonal water travel along the coast and inland waterways.
