2018 Map of Kwiguk A-1 NE

About this map

Kwiguk River meanders through this portion of the Kusilvak Census Area, defining a landscape dominated by complex hydrological patterns and wetland systems. This 2018 survey documents a remote coastal region of western Alaska where seasonal water movement is the primary architect of the terrain. The presence of Five Day Slough illustrates the intricate network of secondary channels and tidal reaches that characterize the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta. These waterways were, and remain, the essential corridors for travel and subsistence in a region largely devoid of permanent road infrastructure. The map provides a precise record of the shifting silt and water that dictate the geography of the Alaska coast, capturing the state of these vital drainages before further natural transformation.
