1954 Map of Dillingham B-4

About this map

The Nushagak River dominates this mid-century Alaskan landscape, serving as the primary corridor for movement and settlement in the Dillingham region. Established along its banks are the communities of New Stuyahok and Ekwok, both of which are shown with dedicated Landing Strip facilities, highlighting the critical role of bush aviation in the interior. The presence of Tunravik (Site) near Tunravik Creek suggests a history of seasonal or former habitation along the northern reaches of the river. The terrain is characterized by a complex network of waterways, including Klutuk Creek, Lower Klutuk Creek, and Lookout Creek, which meander through the marshy lowlands. This survey reflects the infrastructure of the 1950s, documenting a Gaging Sta and clear corporate boundaries that define the spatial organization of these riverside settlements during a period of documented growth.
