1954 Map of Dillingham B-1

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

The Kvichak River dominates the southern landscape of this mid-century survey, a vital waterway winding through a complex system of ponds and marshes in the Lake and Peninsula region. Photogrammetric methods from 1955 aerial photography reveal an intricate hydrology, where the main channel of the Kvichak is fed by several notable tributaries including Kaskanak Creek, which meanders significantly through the central and northeastern sections. Further south and west, the smaller Courtney Creek and Ole Creek cut through the terrain, illustrating the water-saturated nature of this environment during the 1950s. The absence of roads or trails throughout the entire quadrangle highlights the reliance on river navigation and the seasonal fluctuations of the wetlands, documented here with 25-foot contour intervals to track subtle shifts in elevation.
