1954 Map of Kuskokwim Bay D-6

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Kipnuk and the small coastal settlement of Anogok stand as the primary hubs of human activity on this mid-century survey of the Alaskan coast. This amphibious landscape, dominated by the Clarence Rhode National Wildlife Range, is defined by a complex network of tidal flats and meandering waterways including the Kinak River and Kuguklik River. The inclusion of a Seaplane Anchorage near the mouth of the river highlights the critical role of aviation in connecting these remote coastal communities. The coastline is anchored by the prominent Cape Avinof, while the long, narrow Pingurbek Island acts as a natural barrier between Kuskokwim Bay and the Etolin Strait. This map records a vast delta system where the line between land and water is constantly blurred by expansive mud flats and shifting channels like the Kwigukluk River.
