1952 Map of Kwiguk A-6

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Nunavakanuk Lake dominates the central landscape of this 1950s survey, representing a vast labyrinth of water and tundra in the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta. The map captures the complex hydrology of the region, where the Black River meanders through an intricate web of smaller lakes and wetlands. The topographic detail, compiled from 1951 aerial photography, illustrates the shifting nature of these coastal lowlands. In the southeast, the terrain rises abruptly toward the Kuzitak Mountains, providing a stark contrast to the surrounding marshland. Small landmarks like New Knock Hock and waterways such as Anakshek Pass and the Ponglevik River mark the few named points of reference in this remote wilderness, reflecting the era's reliance on river navigation and traditional knowledge before modern development altered the area's cartographic profile.
