1954 Map of Kuskokwim Bay D-1

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

Kuskokwim Bay and its intricate network of tidal waterways dominate this mid-century topographic survey, documenting a coastline defined by shifting silts and seasonal travel. The landscape is marked by a vast Tidal Flat and the deep incisions of the Kuskokwak Channel and Eek Channel. Human presence is sparse but strategic, anchored by Warehouse and a solitary Cabin located near the mouth of Warehouse Creek. This area served as a critical interface between the open bay and the interior, where a Winter Trail hugs the coast along Warehouse Bluff. These seasonal routes were essential for regional movement when the marshy terrain and numerous tributaries, such as Tundak Creek and Weekeng Cr, were frozen. The map reflects a period of transition as the Army Map Service used aerial photogrammetry to chart this remote Alaskan shoreline.
