1952 Map of Black C-1

About this map

The Bering Sea dominates the western half of this 1952 Alaskan coastal survey, where the Yukon River delta begins to fragment into a complex network of tidally influenced waterways. The settlement of Waklarok sits near the southeastern shore, positioned at the edge of an intricate landscape of mud flats and shifting passages. Navigation through these coastal waters relied on specific deep-water arteries like the Kwikluak Channel and the Acharon Channel, which carve through the sediment-heavy delta front.
