1954 Map of Dillingham C-3

About this map

The confluence of the Nushagak River and the Mulchatna River dominates this mid-century interior landscape, revealing a remote riverine system in southwestern Alaska. The settlement at Nunachuak sits along the banks where the waters meet, accompanied by scattered Cabins further downstream that suggest a seasonal or subsistence-based presence in the 1950s. The terrain is defined by complex drainage patterns, with the winding Nunachuak Creek and Tumaguli Creek carving through the lowlands. The survey, based on aerial photography from 1953 and 1955, shows a wilderness primarily accessible by water, prior to significant modern infrastructure development in the region.
