1953 Map of Hooper Bay B-2

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Old Chevak stands as a primary point of human settlement within this intricate network of coastal waterways on the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of the Keoklevik River and the Kashunuk River, which weave through a complex mosaic of tundra ponds and marshland. In 1953, the area was designated as part of the Clarence Rhode National Wildlife Range Area No 1, reflecting its importance as a critical habitat. Extensive deposits of Sand and Mud characterize the transition into Angyoyaravak Bay at the southern edge of the sheet. The survey, based on 1953 aerial photography, illustrates a highly fluid environment where the Ninglikfak River and Tutakoke River continuously reshape the low-lying terrain. This document preserves the mid-century geography of a region where seasonal changes and water levels dictate the patterns of navigation and subsistence.
