1952 Map of Dillingham A-2

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Kvichak River and the Alagnak River dominate this terrain within the Dillingham quadrangle, revealing a landscape defined by an intricate network of wetlands, sloughs, and interconnected lakes. Mapped in the early 1950s using aerial photography, the sheet records a sparsely settled wilderness where human presence is marked primarily by isolated Cabins along the riverbanks. The existence of a Winter Trail in the northwest portion of the map highlights the seasonal nature of travel and transport in this part of Alaska, where frozen waterways and trails provided essential passage when summer navigation was impossible. Geodetic control points like Vabm 171 emphasize the survey's focus on precise mapping in a region where land lines were largely unsurveyed and predetermined by the Bureau of Land Management.
