1954 Map of Dillingham B-5

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

The braided channels of the Nushagak River dominate this mid-century survey of the Alaska wilderness near Dillingham. This map reflects a landscape defined by its complex hydrology, where the large river system meets tributaries like the Kokwok River and Kuklong Creek. At the time of this 1954 annotation, the area remained largely unsurveyed on the ground, with land lines representing positions predetermined by the Bureau of Land Management rather than physical markers. The mapping itself was a product of the post-war era's technological shift, utilizing photogrammetric methods from aerial photographs taken in 1955. The sheet provides a clear view of the natural watercourses, including Klutuk Creek and the area designated as Lower, showing a territory where the river was the primary geographic feature long before significant road infrastructure reached this part of the Seward Meridian.
