1952 Map of Kwiguk A-6

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Nunavakanuk Lake dominates this mid-century landscape in the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta region, a massive body of water surrounded by a complex system of smaller lakes and tundra ponds. The map captures the transitional period of the early 1950s, showing the neighboring settlements of New Knockhook and Knockhook situated along the winding bends of the Black River. These settlements, established along the river's active meanders, reflect the importance of waterways for transportation and subsistence in this part of Alaska. The northern portion of the sheet is defined by Anakshek Pass and the Ponglevik River, while the southeastern corner is anchored by the rising elevation of the Kusilvak Mountains. The intricate network of tidal channels and inland water bodies illustrates a landscape governed by the seasonal flow of the delta before modern infrastructure was introduced.
