1952 Map of Hooper Bay A-2

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

The deltaic wetlands of the Bering Sea coast define this mid-century survey of the Kusilvak region. A complex network of tidal waterways and silty channels dominates the landscape, characterized by the winding course of the Kashunuk River and the Opagyarak River. The absence of roads or trails highlights the reliance on water transport and the seasonal cycles of the tundra during this era. Survey markers including VABM Drain, VABM Silver, and VABM Sally provide specific geographical reference points within the shifting Sand and Mud flats. To the north, the Tutakoke River and the Aphrewn River carve through the low-lying terrain, while Tungatuk Slough connects these interior waters to the coastal environment. The map offers a clear view of the hydrological patterns and shoreline conditions prior to modern climatic and geological shifts.
