1951 Map of Black

About this map

The coastal wetlands and complex river deltas where the Black River meets the Bering Sea define this mid-century reconnaissance survey. The geography is characterized by an intricate network of waterways, including the Nurukomarot Channel and Acharon Channel, which carve through the low-lying terrain of the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta region. The sparse settlement pattern of the early 1950s is evident in small outposts like Bimiut and Black, while the notation for Kogomiut (Aband) provides a specific data point for researchers tracking the shifting occupancy of indigenous and seasonal sites.
