1952 Map of Hooper Bay D-1

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

The Askinuk Mountains dominate the southern coastline of this coastal Alaskan landscape, providing a rare stretch of elevated relief above the surrounding delta. This 1952 field-annotated study reveals an intricate aquatic network of meandering channels and tundra ponds characteristic of the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta region. The Kun River and its major tributaries, including the Pungpuk River and the Kiknear River, wind through the lowlands, creating a labyrinth of waterways that define the local geography. Towards the southeast corner, the Kingokakthluk Lake sits near the base of the mountain range. This era of mapping, based on early 1950s aerial photography, captures the natural state of the coastal wetlands before significant modern environmental changes, offering a clear view of the traditional waterway connections across the tundra.
