1952 Map of Kwiguk A-5

About this map

Ingrichuak Hill rises above a vast expanse of wet tundra and intricate waterways in this mid-century mapping of the Alaska wilderness. The landscape is defined by the shifting course of the Ponglevik River and the broad Slough Tunurokpak Channel, reflecting a highly dynamic fluvial environment where land and water frequently merge. Near the southern edge, the Kusilvak Mountains provide a rare point of elevation in a territory dominated by low-lying drainages like the Black R and Igrikchuk. Surveyed just after the war using aerial photography, the map includes established benchmarks such as VABM 389 Army, which served as critical control points for the Army Corps of Engineers in this remote region.
