1951 Map of Black

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The Kwikpak River delta dominates this mid-century survey of the western Alaska coastline, where a complex network of waterways meets the Bering Sea. This coastal landscape is defined by its shifting aquatic geography, featuring numerous named passages such as the Nurukomarot Channel, Kwemeluk Pass, and Kutuknuk Channel. Small settlements and seasonal locations like Black and Kwikak appear along the banks, serving as important landmarks for those navigating the intricate braids of the delta. Inland, the map documents the Melatolik Creek drainage and various survey benchmarks, including VABM 13 Bimit and VABM 95 Ukak. Off the coast, the shifting nature of the shoreline is evident in the expansive stretches of Mud, Flat, and Shoal waters, alongside significant landforms like Krekatok Island and the Sand Islands.
