1952 Map of Dillingham A-2

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

The Kvichak River and Alagnak River dominate this early 1950s landscape in southwest Alaska, showing the intricate hydrology of the Bristol Bay region before significant modern development. The map reveals a wild network of meandering channels, wetlands, and small ponds characteristic of this low-lying tundra. Human presence is sparse and temporary, evidenced by isolated groups of Cabins scattered along the riverbanks, likely serving as seasonal camps for fishing or trapping. Transportation is limited to the water or a solitary Winter Trail, reflecting a time when travel in this part of the Alaska-Third Judicial Division relied heavily on seasonal routes and river navigation. Survey control points like VABM Vich (171) provide the only fixed landmarks in a shifting terrain of bars and braids.
