1953 Map of Hooper Bay

About this map

The Askinuk Mountains dominate the coastal topography of this western Alaska region, rising sharply above the complex estuarine environment of the Yukon Delta National Wildlife Refuge. The map details a landscape defined by seasonal movement and water, featuring prominent coastal markers like Cape Romanzof and Panowat Spit. Inland, the settlement of Chevak and the recorded location of Old Chevak (Site) reflect the shifting nature of habitation along the intricate river systems.
