1954 Map of Kuskokwim Bay D-5

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Kuskokwim Bay meets a complex coastal marshland in this mid-century survey of the Alaska coastline near Bethel. The terrain is dominated by an intricate network of hundreds of unnamed thaw lakes and ponds, a signature of the permafrost-influenced landscape. The Kuguklik River meanders through the northern section, its loops and oxbows illustrating the low-gradient nature of the delta. Evidence of historical habitation is sparse on this specific sheet, though the noted Chalit (Site) on the western edge provides a vital point of interest for those researching indigenous settlement patterns or archaeological sites in the region. To the east, the large Bow Lake breaks the pattern of smaller water bodies, defining the inland geography north of the bay's shoreline.
