1952 Map of Dillingham A-3

About this map

The Kvichak River dominates this mid-century landscape as it winds through an intricate network of lakes, ponds, and marshy lowlands typical of the Bristol Bay region. Near the river's center course, the settlement of Levelock is visible, supported by a nearby Landing Strip and a Winter Trail that provided essential overland access during the colder months. To the south, where the Alagnak River joins the system, the small cluster at Hallersville sits along its namesake Hallersville Creek. The mapping reveals a delicate hydrosystem where Tidal Flats and numerous tributaries like Yellow Creek and Bear Creek illustrate the tidal influence and drainage patterns of the Alaskan wilderness. This survey is particularly valuable for documenting the precise location of riverside Cabins and infrastructure during a period when seasonal travel and subsistence living were the primary drivers of the local economy.
