1952 Map of Black B-1

About this map

Black River meanders through a vast, water-logged delta landscape where the river system meets the Bering Sea. This mid-century coastal survey captures the intricate network of sloughs and passes, such as Kiangolévik Pass, that define the region's geography. Human presence is sparse but strategically placed along these vital waterways, anchored by the settlement at Black and several noted cabins that likely served as seasonal shelters for fishing or trapping.
