About this map

Kashunuk River and the Keoklevik River dominate this low-lying coastal landscape in the Kusilvak Census Area of Alaska. This 2020 US Topo edition illustrates the intricate drainage patterns of the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta, where water and land are inextricably linked. The survey reveals a complex network of thousands of small, unnamed ponds and seasonal wetlands that characterize this subarctic environment. Navigational markers like the meandering curves of these two major rivers provide the primary geographic context for this remote stretch of the delta, reflecting the terrain's resistance to permanent development or road infrastructure. The absence of settlements or named landmarks outside of these waterways emphasizes the seasonally dynamic nature of the region's hydrology and its importance as a natural habitat within the delta's vast alluvial system.
