1954 Map of Kuskokwim Bay D-4

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Kwigillingok sits at the edge of the Kuskokwim Bay coastline, serving as a primary settlement in this low-lying delta landscape during the mid-1950s. The map illustrates a complex network of thermokarst lakes and tidal channels, where the Kwigillingok River winds through vast stretches of mudflats and marsh. Small outposts and named locations like Anogok and Snare are visible, alongside a local Cem, providing evidence of historical habitation in this challenging environment. Large water bodies such as Bow Lake and Kolekfikpuk Lake dominate the interior, surrounded by unnamed ponds that characterize the permafrost-influenced terrain. This survey, compiled from aerial photographs by the U. S. Army Topographic Command, captures the intricate transition from land to sea before the shoreline and hydrologic patterns shifted in the following decades.
