1954 Map of Dillingham D-5

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

The Nuyakuk River dominates this mid-century topographic survey, winding through an intricate network of marshes and unnamed glacial lakes in the Bristol Bay region. Based on 1950s aerial photography with 1985 revisions, the map reveals a landscape defined by water and permafrost, where the lack of roads or trails highlights the region's reliance on river navigation. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, Napotoli Creek drains toward the larger river systems through a maze of ponds and wetlands. This document serves as a precise record of the hydrological patterns and topographic elevations before modern shifts in the subarctic environment, preserving the exact contours of the many unnamed islands and oxbow lakes created by the meandering river channels.
