1953 Map of Hooper Bay B-1

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

The Clarence Rhode National Wildlife Range Area No 1 dominates this remote landscape, protecting a complex aquatic system of the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta. The Kashunuk River and Ukalikchik River wind through the terrain, accompanied by lesser-known waterways like Kuyungsik, Aphrewn, and Tungaluk Slough. This environment is characterized by an intricate network of tundra ponds and tidal sloughs, where the transition between land and water is often marked by an Indefinite Boundary. The map reflects a period of systematic aerial photogrammetry by the Army Map Service and the Geological Survey to document one of the most hydrographically dense regions in Alaska. Researchers can trace the meandering paths of the Manokinak River and see the precise survey points established during the early 1950s field annotations.
