1952 Map of Kwiguk B-1

About this map

The East Fork Andreafsky River flows through a landscape defined by the transition from upland terrain to an intricate system of wetlands and meandering waterways. Mapped in the early 1950s by the Army Map Service, this sheet illustrates the complex hydrology of the region before significant modern development. The Chuilnak River and Nageethluk River dominate the lower elevations, where they form a dense network of oxbows and marshlands. This geography suggests a traditional reliance on seasonal water routes for movement through the territory. The absence of roads or trails, as noted by the Corps of Engineers, highlights the untouched nature of these river systems during this period of Alaskan history.
