1952 Map of Kwiguk B-2

About this map

The Andreafsky River winds through this subarctic landscape in the Kusilvak region, joined by its prominent East Fork Andreafsky River as it travels through the complex drainage systems of Western Alaska. Mapped in the early 1950s using photogrammetric methods from 1951 aerial photography, the terrain is characterized by intricate contour intervals that reveal the elevation changes across this roadless expanse. To the north, Allen Creek feeds into the main river system, contributing to a hydrological network typical of the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta area before modern development or expanded infrastructure. This 1952 study by the Army Map Service documents a moment when the natural river courses and elevation profiles were the primary landmarks for navigation and land use in this part of the Alaska-Second Judicial Division.
