2020 Map of Hooper Bay B-1 NW

About this map

The Kashunuk River meanders across this low-lying landscape within the Kusilvak Census Area, illustrating the complex hydrological network of the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta. This 2020 map documents an intricate mosaic of wetlands and tundra where the Ukalikehik River and Maryauck River wind through the silt-heavy terrain. The region is defined by its seasonal shift from frozen expanse to a saturated floodplain, a topography that has historically dictated the movement of native populations and wildlife. To the southeast, the Aphrewn River enters the frame, marking another artery in a region where water is the primary geographic anchor. Without roads or permanent settlements, the drainage patterns of these tidal rivers remain the dominant physical features for navigation and land use.
