1954 Map of Dillingham D-4

About this map

The Nushagak River dominates this southwestern Alaskan landscape, carving a wide, braided path through a network of wetlands and tundra. Surveyed during the mid-1950s, the terrain is defined by the convergence of the Nukakuk River and the main channel, where seasonal or semi-permanent Cabins and a small Cem are situated. These features suggest a point of local significance for transport or subsistence near the river bend. To the east, the topography rises sharply at Ketok Mountain, providing a distinct landmark above the surrounding lowlands. Numerous smaller water bodies, including Harris Creek, Cranberry Creek, and Napotalik Creek, feed into the larger river system, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of the Dillingham region before significant modern development.
