1952 Map of Dillingham A-6

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

The Nushagak River dominates the southern landscape of this 1952 Alaskan survey, where its tidal reaches meet expansive deposits of Sand and Mud along the shoreline. This coastal environment is defined by the shifting waters of the Kowithli River and the Little Muklung River, which meander through a labyrinth of small lakes and marshes. A prominent overland route, the Winter Trail, cuts across the tundra north of the Nushagak, providing a glimpse into the seasonal transport networks essential to this region before modern infrastructure. Near the river's bend, Lewis Pt stands as a distinct geographical marker, while the inland terrain is characterized by hundreds of unnamed ponds and intricate drainage patterns typical of the Dillingham quadrangle. The map reflects a period when land lines were largely unsurveyed, relying on photogrammetric methods from early 1950s aerial photography to document this remote delta system.
