1954 Map of Kuskokwim Bay

About this map

Kuskokwim Bay dominates this coastal survey, where the river systems of the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta meet the Bering Sea. The landscape is characterized by an intricate network of tundra lakes and tidal flats, including Bow Lake and Kolekfikpuk Lake, protected within the Clarence Rhode National Wildlife Range (Area No 2). Settlements like Kwigillingok and Kongiganak are positioned along the southern coast, where a Seaplane Anchorage and a coastal Winter Trail suggest the essential role of seasonal transport in this roadless environment. Further west, Cape Avinof serves as a prominent landmark near the Etolin Strait, while the eastern portion of the map details the complex maritime navigation through the Kuskokwak Channel and West Channel near Warehouse Bluff.
