2020 Map of Kwiguk A-6 SW

About this map

Black River meanders across this landscape of the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta, defining the drainage patterns of a region dominated by vast wetland complexes and countless unnamed thaw lakes. The terrain is characterized by the low-lying, water-saturated plains of the Kusilvak Census Area, where the river's shifting course over time has created a network of sloughs and oxbows typical of this subarctic environment. Apart from the prominent Nunavakanuk Lake in the northeast, the map reveals a largely uninhabited wilderness where the hydrography is the primary defining feature. This map serves as a detailed record of the delta's intricate water systems during the early twenty-first century, showing the specific orientation of the river as it winds through the township and range grids of the Public Land Survey System.
