1952 Map of Black A-2

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Bimiut and a lone Cabin stand as the only named markers of human habitation along this remote stretch of the Alaska coast in the early 1950s. The landscape is defined by the labyrinthine waterways of the Yukon Delta National Wildlife Refuge, where Melatolik Creek winds through a dense network of ponds and saturated tundra before reaching the Bering Sea. To the west, the Sand Islands and Krekatok Island emerge from the coastal shelf, surrounded by expansive tidal flats labeled simply as Mud. This survey illustrates a primitive environment where the boundary between land and water is constantly shifting, showing the region before modern infrastructure reached this part of the delta.
